Since his death in 2009, the world has struggled with how Michael Jackson should be remembered,

Listen to Think Twice, Michael Jackson, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi everyone, I'm Sarah Janks daily, supervising producer at Late Night, and this is Late Night Lit.

On today's episode, we welcome Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner,

Colson Whitehead. Plus, we'll hear from Seth's mom, Hillary Myers, who joins our Late Night Lit summer

series to share some book recommendations for your summer reading.

Our first ever guest on this podcast in the summer of 2020 was Colson Whitehead,

and he joins us again today to discuss his newest novel, Crook Manifesto.

Colson talks to us about the process of writing a trilogy,

what he finds to be the most rewarding part of book publicity tours,

We're both still here.
