Tananarive Due on 'The Reformatory' (Get Lit)

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 1, 2024

We air highlights from our February Get Lit with All of It book club event with author Tananarive Due. We spent the month reading her novel, The Reformatory, which tells the story of a terrifying segregated reformatory for boys in Jim Crow-era Florida, and a young boy who is sent there. The boy learns he can see the ghosts of boys who died on the property. The superintendent wants Robert to hunt the ghosts, but the ghosts are ready to fight back. Can Robert escape this terrible place with his life?

This segment was guest-hosted by our producer Jordan Lauf.
