On this episode celebrating Banned Books Week, Qian Julie Wang joins us to discuss Beautiful Country (Doubleday, Sept. 7), an affecting account of her family's journey from China to the U.S., and her challenging early years as an undocumented elementary schooler in New York's Chinatown (starred review). Then editors Vicky Smith, Eric Liebetrau, and Laurie Muchnick join us for a spirited discussion of the importance of the right to read whatever you choose. This episode is sponsored by Lake Union Publishing, home of What Passes as Love by Trisha R. Thomas.

Today I talked to Trisha R. Thomas about her new novel What Passes as Love (Lake Union Publishing, 2021). In 1850, at age six, Dahlia Holt is taken from the only home she knows and moved into the big house to serve her two older sisters. They share a father, who owns the house and its slaves. On her sixteenth birthday, Dahlia gets to dress up in one of the sister's discarded dresses for a trip to the city. There, she gets separated from her family, and meets a young Englishman who thinks she's white. She introduces herself as an orphan without a family. It starts out as a lark, but her adventures could destroy those she left behind. Especially after her father puts a high bounty on her head, because she is, after all, a runaway slave. TRISHA R. THOMAS won the Literary Lion Award from the King County Library Foundation. Her first book, Nappily Ever After, was a finalist for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literature as well as being featured in O Magazine's Books That Make a Difference. Her work has been reviewed in the Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Her debut novel is now adapted to a feature film on Netflix. She's had 11 novels published and continues to write from her home in California. When she's not writing, she's tending to her mini farm where she grows tomatoes, avocados, and lemons, all the perfect ingredients for guacamole and avocado toast. I interview authors of beautifully written literary fiction and mysteries, and try to focus on independently published novels, especially by women and others whose voices deserve more attention.

This month we’re reading the genre of Chick Lit Romance. Does it exist and if so, what should it be called? Plus: The poor portrayal of library jobs in fiction, not being able to connect with people in novels who are desperate to get married, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), World of Warcraft romances, post-feminist fiction, picking books based on the cover, and more! (Our apologies for use of the word "real" in relation to biological families in this episode. Adopted families are real families too.)

Now, she works for a City law firm (hence, I guess, the restaurants and the expensive suits and the disappearance of the spiky haircut and a previously unrevealed taste for weary sarcasm) not because she underwent any kind of political conversation, but because she was made redundant and couldn't find any legal aid work.” Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella Links, Articles, and Things Romance is publishing’s most lucrative genre.

Tamu and Mallory read Trisha R. Thomas's Nappily Ever After and compare it to the Netflix  adaptation. Let's just say there were high expectations which were sadly not met. However, both the book and movie are pioneers for moving natural hair into the mainstream; hopefully the next movies and books about natural hair will be even better. Moral to the Story: We are beautiful regardless of what comes out of our heads. Other Fun Topics Discussed:  The protagonist is really a selfish human. She cut her hair off and had no new growth as a person. Mallory liked the first chapter of the book. Communication is important in relationships. Don't get blasted and share feelings because you may end up engaged. Book break up vs. Insecure breakup between Issa & Lawrence. Mallory wondered if the movie was for white people to get an idea of black women & their hair. The movie's theme is "if a black man approves" Most Ridiculous Movie Quote: "Men want realness" Anything with a dick can still be a dick. Women & beauty standards. Sex in the shower can be a thing on wash day. Miraculously Sanaa's character can braid, but was unable to do her own hair. Don't assume because someone is wearing a scarf that they have cancer. Mallory found the sexism in the movie! Tamu talks about the moment when she cut her hair off. Mallory finds the misogyny in the final pool scene between the father and mother! Bad@Love Remakes this Movie: Would have been better to see someone with more power in their hands. Myth Busted: Going natural is not cheap, nor is it quick. The World According to Mallory: Online dating = Love resumes so use grammar and spell check. Tamu compares the movie to bad tequila. ____ Artwork by Kerriann Art: https://www.instagram.com/artbykerriann/ Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/badatlovepodcast Tweet us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/badatlovepod Visit our website: www.badatlovepodcast.com Email us: badatlovepodcast@gmail.com

In this week's episode we tackle the genre of urban fiction aka hood lit. We discuss our gripes with it as well as its...unique traits. We also spend a bit of time reminiscing for authors of days of yore, specifically Trisha R. Thomas, Sheneska Jackson and Lolita. We also finally get to the root of Jeanette's Zane issues.
