Episode 6: A Makeup Artist and Writer Looking to Get Deep
Manage episode 301820735 series 2954810
Niko Maragos is a makeup artist and writer. He's drawn to deep, difficult reads—and his taste sometimes means that reading can feel like work, for better or for worse. To meet the challenge, we try to find books that are intellectual and compelling. On this week’s episode, we learn some shocking news about eyebrow trends, plus recommend some books for people who loved Circe or Detransition Baby.
The guest: Niko Maragos
The picks:
The Ingenious Language by Andrea Marcolongo
The World Does Not Require You by Rion Amilcar Scott
Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips
Wake Siren by Nina MacLaughlin
Strip: Poems by Jessica Abughattas
SPOILER ALERT! The winning bookstore is For Keeps, which doesn’t typically sell new books. You should check out their store, however, especially their amazing merch.
