Welcome to the first ever episode of Read It & Roast! Today we begin with the book that started it all: Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee. Set in post-Apartheid South Africa, this title begs the question: How does a nation move forward? Do be prepared, as this is no light read. We have invited the inspiration for the pod, Alexandra T., on this episode to defend her choices, listen to our qualms, and ultimately redeem the read. Tune in to find out if we name Disgrace a read or a roast!

You can find Disgrace on Bookshop to support indie bookstores everywhere!
