Dear Reader,

The fifth season of the Windham-Campbell Prizes Podcast has arrived! Each episode features one of this year’s prize recipients in conversation with Mike Kelleher, Director of the Windham-Campbell Prizes, on the one book they can’t stop thinking about.

So far, we’ve talked to Tongo Eisen-Martin about Ayi Kwei Armah’s novel The Healers, which speaks out against division-based ideologies and puts forth a pan-African vision of healing. And, discussed F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a novel that looms large over American literature, with Sigrid Nunez. New episodes drop every two weeks on Wednesday. Here’s the lineup:

• Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini on Bola Agbaje’s Gone Too Far!
• Patricia J. Williams on Martha Jones’s The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir
• Roy Williams on Dael Orlandersmith’s Yellowman
• Anthony V. Capildeo on Kimberly Campanello’s An Interesting Detail
• Rana Dasgupta on Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s The Leopard
• Anne Enright on J. G. Farrell’s Troubles 

Listen for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your preferred platform.

Until next month,
The Windham-Campbell Prizes Team
