Accompany the squad on a potentially misleading adventure that does not actually involve any investigative reporting as we cover Witches by Brenda Lozano (translated by Heather Cleary). We talk about literature in translation, the novel's narrative voices, and some 'high brow feminist shit.' Later in the episode, Kelli interviews childhood friend Dizz Tate, author of Brutes. They discuss their adolescence spent in Florida, the highs and lows of teenage girlhood, and the lasting power of The Virgin Suicides. Plus, they give great advice, especially for people with "no hopes for the future!" Send us any feedback you have to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com, and join us 3/6 for our episode on Knock at the Cabin with special guest Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle. Don't forget to read along for our next bookpisode on Johnny Compton's debut novel, The Spite House, on 3/20.
