My husband and Bryce Stucki wrote about black farmers and discrimination at USDA under Obama. It’s smart, damning, and has great graphics. It also highlights why voting Trump out of office isn’t enough.

"Beginning with an interview of these young women could easily have felt like the laziest kind of exposition, but in Reid’s hands it serves as a brilliant demonstration of her own approach as a novelist: Listen…."

Review | Finally, a novel that really understands college students

In Kiley Reid’s clever “Come and Get It,” the lives of young women are complicated in all kinds of messy ways.
