About this listen
This week, Esme and Kareem are joined by writer, policy expert, and campaigner Gracie Mae Bradley for a rich conversation about reading as refuge, writing toward liberation, and the everyday work of solidarity. Gracie traces her bookish beginnings (shoutout to school libraries and handwritten letters from authors), why short stories feel like home, and how fiction lets her hold complexity without neat answers. We dig into Against Borders (co-authored with Luke de Noronha), non-reformist reforms, and practical ways listeners can show up for each other now.
We also swap current reads and the dog-eared titles that change us. Plus: redemptive endings vs. relentless bleakness, tiny revenges in fiction, coalition as survival, and why rest (and a good bathhouse) can be part of the writing process.
