Persuasion, with Alex Brown
Manage episode 352213251 series 2975046
When genius writer and critic Alex Brown was spotted gnashing their teeth at the release of Netflix’s Persuasion, the crew knew they had to ask them on to discuss it, and they’re so glad they agreed! Alex joins Red Scott and Maggie Tokuda-Hall to discuss the Carrie Cracknell Directed Persuasion (2022) and the book it was kind of adapted from, Jane Austen’s Persuasion (1817).
Alex Brown is a librarian, local historian, author and writer, and an Ignyte Award winning critic. Their work can be found on tor.com, Locus magazine, NPR, and Buzzfeed. Much of their writing covers Black history, librarianship, YA, and speculative fiction. Their two books of nonfiction, Hidden History of Napa Valley and Lost Restaurants of Napa Valley and Their Recipes, are on sale now.
