Here's the second half of our conversation.

We also get into book recommendations.

Lindsey suggests The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon.

Cat mentions that students at her school read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz and Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

Episode 046: To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han (part 1)


In this episode we discuss To All The Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han with Catherine and Marguerite—who have both done scholarly work and taught classes on Asian American Literature. Thank you both again for joining us and helping demonstrate how worthy teen literature is of scholarly discussion. Our conversation here is wide ranging, fruitful, and—frankly—a little long. So, to make it digestible and also not deprive anyone of the full conversation, we'll be releasing it as two episodes. Here is part one; look for part two in two weeks.
