For the final episode of Book Exploder, National Book Award winner James McBride (@jamesmcbrideauthor) talks to @susanorlean about the opening passage from his novel Deacon King Kong. Thank you so much for listening to this miniseries. It was exciting to explore the underlying premise of Song Exploder in literature. And do it with this incredible roster of authors, with Susan as the host, was a real thrill. Thanks to @jbottie for helping me at the start of the journey, to @twbalcomb for wisdom in helping me finish it, and @radiotopia for being there throughout. The Book Exploder illustrations were done by @paulapocketz and the logo was made (out of paper!) by @reinasaur. Thank you! — Hrishikesh
