Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz sit down with authors to discuss their latest works, from fiction to non-fiction, today's political analysis to ancient thought.
David Plotz talks with author Carl Hiaasen about his new book, Fever Beach. Fever Beach is a political satire that follows a couple of dimwitted white supremacists, a corrupt congressman, and the people that try to take them all down. They discuss the real-life racist event Hiaasen witnessed that inspired a central scene in the novel, how Matt Gaetz factors into the book, Hiaasen’s next moves, and more.
