Shownotes Transcript

Chris, Filip, and Adam form a makeshift book club after reading Jay Caspian Kang's "The Loneliest Americans." They particularly focus on the chapter on Asian American male online spaces, especially since it actually features Adam in one of its narrative arcs. Other points of discussion include what it would mean to listen more to working-class Asian Americans and why there was some Twitter controversy over this book by those who hadn't even read it.
