Nerdette Book Club is off to an excellent start with our first selection of 2024, ‘Jonathan Abernathy You are Kind’ by Molly McGhee! It’s a deeply strange novel that dabbles in dreamscapes while also being a very real critique of capitalism. Our readers this month are Maya Lau, the host of the personal finance podcast <a href="https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/other-peoples-pockets" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">‘Other Peoples’ Pockets’</a> and Nick Quah, <a href="https://www.vulture.com/author/nicholas-quah/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">podcast critic</a> for ‘Vulture.’ We do get into spoilers in the conversation!
