Ep. 114 Both, And with Emma Copley Eisenberg
Today we welcome debut author and co-founder of Blue Stoop in Philadelphia, Emma Copley Eisenberg. Emma's book The Third Rainbow Girl: The Long Life of a Double Murder in Appalachia, is an investigation of the murder of two young women--showing how a violent crime casts a shadow over an entire community. We talk about True Crime as a genre, and how the phrase "both, and" became to motto of Emma's work. We also talk books, of course.
The Stacks Book Club selection for June is Savage Appetites by Rachel Monroe. We will discuss the book with Emma Copley Eisenberg on June 24th.
