Zero to Well-Read

Book Riot

Part book club, part English class, Zero to Well-Read is a fun and informative guide to the books people talk about like everyone has read them. Each week, hosts Jeff O'Neal and Rebecca Schinsky take on a new title—from classics you should have read in high school to prize winners, cult favorites to modern hits—and tell you everything you need to know: the plot, what it feels like to read, why it matters, and the key takeaways.

    How to Read Toni Morrison and Where to Start, with Namwali Serpell

    Jeff and Rebecca sit down with literary critic and Harvard University professor Namwali Serpell, author of On Morrison, for a conversation about how to approach her famously difficult body of work. They discuss Morrison's modernist experiments with form, the recurring themes of her work, and why feeling confused and unsettled by her books can be a sign that you're on the right track. Then, Dr. Serpell offers suggestions for which books to start with and how to progress through Morrison's novels.
