The Vox Book Club is linking to Bookshop.org to support local and independent booksellers.
The Vox Book Club’s May book pick was Sanjena Sathian’s biting social satire of immigrant ambition, Gold Diggers. And as is our tradition, we met up with Sathian at the end of the month to talk the book through on Zoom. Together, we discussed the tricks of a dual point of view, what to do with bad criticism, and how to write a heist.
You can relive our full conversation in the video above (click the “cc” button in the bottom right corner of the player to turn on captions). And to keep up with what’s ahead for the Vox Book Club as well as general book news, sign up for our newsletter, which goes out roughly twice a month. Next up, we’re getting ready to talk about our June book, Rumaan Alam’s Leave the World Behind.
We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
