Episode 18 - "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett

Welcome to episode 18 The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. Novelist Brit Bennett remembers the day her mother began reeling off stories from her Southern past. There was one story too good to let slip by. “She brought it up the way parents often do, like it’s something everybody knew … that there were towns where people would intermarry so that their children would get lighter with each generation,” Bennett recalls. “And I was like: ‘Wait! Go back to that.’” This is how the story of The Vanishing Half started. (Los Angeles Times). In our discussion, we discuss what shapes someone’s identity and the special relationship between twins. #thevanishinghalf @britrbennett #hachetteaus Stay tuned for our special Christmas episode coming live next Thursday!
