Episode 413: Dionne Brand – "Islands Vanish" from Nomenclature
About this episode
Robyn O'Neil discusses Dionne Brand's work 'Islands Vanish' and shares personal reflections along with recommendations and a food-related segment.
This week marks the return to THROWING BOOKS ACROSS THE ROOM!!!! So exciting. Dionne Brand 's "Islands Vanish" really had me feeling all sorts of things. It was a pleasure to read it to you. I extend appreciation to her for "hunting for slave castles with a pencil for explosives." Not many hunt so rigorously. It's shattering. This episode also includes an impassioned Recommendation Corner, a Mini Question Corner , and I talk about a steakhouse for an awfully long time. I did it all for the caperberries. Thank you, as always, for listening. xoxo, Robyn LINKS Buy Dionne Brand's NOMENCLATURE Check out my Youtube My Instagram My Substack My Website My Shop The Finch App Rituals Incense Better Booch
