AAPI Authors and Much, Much More! Radio Book Club

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and that means Radio Book Club hosts have some great book recommendations by AAPI authors; from dystopian fiction to short stories about collective delusions and a debut thriller. Plus, tune in for a discussion about a nonfiction book wrestling with great artists who have made horrible choices. And, travel to the Arctic Circle with two tales – one historic and one contemporary – that center Sami Reindeer Herders.
