Q | Aug 11, 2023
Following the success of his critically-acclaimed debut novel, "Forgotten Work," author Jason Guriel is back with a new book called, "The Full-Moon Whaling Chronicles." Like “Forgotten Work,” “Full Moon” is set in a dystopian world many years into the future. Newfoundland has vanished, Tokyo is the new Venice and people are living in hive-like housing due to rising tides. Jason joins guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the book’s central themes and why he decided to write it in rhyming couplets.
