John Fram - The Bright Lands

Adam Vitcavage is joined by John Fram to discuss his debut book The Bright Lands. We discuss being an outsider, writing modern noirs, and police brutality in media. Please read his New York Times piece "How White Crime Writers Justified Police Brutality" here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/opinion/crime-fiction-police-brutality.html Please consider donating to an organization that helps fight tyranny in America of your choosing. I'm choosing to highlight the Okra Project, is a collective that seeks to address the global crisis faced by Black Trans people by bringing home-cooked, healthy, and culturally specific meals and resources to Black Trans People wherever we can reach them.
