Goodbye, Vitamin and Hello, new episode! This week the Squad discusses the plight of Ruth, a 30-year-old woman caring for her father, who has Alzheimer’s disease in Rachel Khong’s debut novel. We discuss the fickleness of human memory, the switch from cared-for to caretaker, the book’s narrative format, and the overall writing style of the novel. Then we get into some listener feedback about "Fledgling" (well, mostly about vampires). Plus, we tell you what’s on the #BookSquadBlog. Our next othersode will be on "Suspiria," so get to the theater and get spooked!
