An engaging and dynamic conversation series around Ling Ma’s SEVERANCE. I love the range of perspectives included here, which highlight the many ways into this simultaneously multi-genre and genre-defying novel.
Compelling, timely, original

This is audio as community-building, as response to pandemic, as artful collaboration. It’s also just good, old-fashioned meaningful conversation about a terrific and meaningful book.
