On today’s episode, we talk to National Book Award finalist Sarah Thankam Mathews about her debut novel, ALL THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT, a warm, dazzling, and profound saga of queer love, friendship, work, and precarity in twenty-first century America. Carolina talks to Sarah about the political engine that drives the book, the shared nuances of the brown queer experience, and the craft elements that bring multi-dimensional stories to life. You can find Sarah at www.smathewss.com | Instagram & Twitter: @smathewss Books mentioned in today's episode: All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Matthews: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691034/all-this-could-be-different-by-sarah-thankam-mathews/ Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid Open City by Teju Cole: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/29908/open-city-by-teju-cole/ Blue Skinned Gods by SJ Sindu: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/668119/blue-skinned-gods-by-sj-sindu/ Sea Change Gina Chung Hope Andrew Ridker: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books
