GRETAGRAM book club: Paige Lewis on 'Canon'
About this episode
Greta Johnsen interviews author Paige Lewis about their novel 'Canon' as part of the GRETAGRAM book club.
Host Greta Johnsen talks to author and poet Paige Lewis. Their novel Canon is the GRETAGRAM book club selection for July.

Ultimately, it’s a nonbinary hero’s journey with Good Guys and Bad Guys and a wonderful talking whale. Greta and Paige talk about OCD, the nature of evil, the sensationalism of violence, and FUN ANIMAL FACTS! There are three ways you can participate in book club: Listen to this spoiler-free conversation with Paige, then read the book, then sit back and relax! Do the first two things above, but leave Greta a voicemail with your thoughts by Monday, July 27! Just record yourself on your smartphone and email the tile to greta m johnsen at gmail dot com.
