Today Emma is joined by Sophia to discuss Percival Everett’s novel, “James.” The novel currently holding the spot of “Emma’s favorite book of the year,” “James” reimagines Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved Black man who accompanies Huck Finn.

The BBL joins the Rooneycast to discuss Sally Rooney's most recent novel, Intermezzo. A novel that took months for Emma and Josh to record an episode on, the two podcasts come together to explore the grief two brothers experience, along with the brothers’ uncanny ability to find dysfunction in their interpersonal relationships.

Emma brings opinion editor Sophie Knight on to the podcast to discuss perhaps the most uncomfortable book yet. This book, described by some as "the female 'American Psycho,'" is nothing short of, well, psycho.
