Ep. 245 The Worst Moments of His Life with Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa
Washington Post reporters Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa join The Stacks to discuss their book His Name Is George Floyd: One Man's Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice. We talk about giving George Floyd the "presidential" biography treatment, and why they chose to tell his story now. They reveal how they tackled writing such a massive book with over 400 interviews, and what the fact-checking process was like. We also ask, 'who is the audience for this book?'
The Stacks Book Club selection for December isTrue Bizby Sarah Nović. We will discuss the book on December 28th with Greta Johnsen.
