Hello Everyone!


Thank you for tuning in to Episode 8 of Season 2 of Semiscribbled Podcast.


In this episode, I talk about Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson.


This book was a pleasure to listen to. Truly. Caleb's prose is magical (his voice is soothing too). As a debut novel, I am looking forward to more of his writing. This was my first deviation from this podcast's dedication to African women or women of black descent and I am not mad at it (but I can't promise more of this straying!). The story is about young love, identity, and art. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I hope you will too. 


The Something to Note section is a commentary.
