Extended Readers Club | Rachel Khong

Season 2024 | 53m 32s

Dive deeper into "Real Americans" by Rachel Khong. A profound tale of class and striving, race and visibility, and family and inheritance—a story of trust, forgiveness, and finally coming home. Exuberant and explosive, Real Americans is a social novel par excellence that asks: Are we destined, or made? And if we are made, who gets to do the making? Can our genetic past be overcome?
