    Ep. 47: The Laws of Soul Glo

    Welcome to The Lit Library, where the books are Black, the discussions are bold, and this week’s lesson will leave you wondering what happens when the law, morality, and the pursuit of justice collide. On this episode, we’re joined by acclaimed actor, director, and author Eriq LaSalle to talk about his newest novel, Laws of Solomon, the fourth book in the Martyr Maker series. Mr. LaSalle takes us behind the pages of this gripping thriller and shares the inspiration behind the story, the complexities of its characters, and the real-world questions about justice, power, and morality that shape the book. We’ll explore his journey from the screen to the page, what draws him to stories rooted in suspense, and how his experiences have influenced his approach to writing. Join us for an insightful conversation about storytelling, redemption, and the difficult choices that define us—both on the page and in life. Pull up a chair, open the book, and join us in The Lit Library.
