From #BookTok to Goodreads, Novelist Brandon Taylor on Why Literary Criticism Is Broken

From #BookTok to Goodreads, Novelist Brandon Taylor on Why Literary Criticism Is Broken

By Vulture & New York Magazine

For our first Into It Book Club pick, Sam talks to Brandon Taylor about his latest novel The Late Americans. Set in Iowa City, the book follows a group of lovers and friends who are navigating the world of art, love, sex... and graduate school. We also ask about the broader discourse around books today: In the age of #BookTok and Goodreads, what should readers expect from writers? And —for Brandon, in particular — what's the line between reviewing an author's published work and the author himself? ICYMI, Sam is guest hosting on Vox’s daily news show Today, Explained this week.
