IT IS VERY DIFFERENT IN TONE
THAN THE LAST ONE.

ENJOYED NOT KNOWING WHAT'S
GOING ON.
GOING ON.
GOING ON. HE LIVES IN THIS HUGE HOUSE IN
THE ONLY WORLD HE HAS EVER
KNOWN.

IN THIS COLLECTION OF ESSAYS,
SHE EXPLORES HER CHILDHOOD,
HER GROWING UP.
SHE LOOKS AT ALL OF THAT
THROUGH A LENS OF GUN
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE. HER FATHER IS A CARD CARRYING
NRA MEMBER, TAUGHT HER TO
SHOOT AT A YOUNG AGE.
SHE'S GOT THIS LIFE LONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH GUNS BUT
SHE'S AWARE OF HOW GUNS
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT NATIVE COMMUNITIES AND WOMEN.
IT'S THOUGHT PROVOKING AND
BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND VERY
RELEVANT TO A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS WE ARE HAVING.
>> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIGGER
POINTS THAT WE CAN TAKE AWAY
FROM THE BOOK THAT RELATE TO
SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S GOING ON
TODAY?
TODAY?
TODAY? >>
TODAY? >> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
SHE TALKS ABOUT IS WE THINK
ABOUT THESE HORRIBLE MASS
SHOOTING EVENTS.
SHOOTING EVENTS. REALLY THAT'S SUCH A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF WHAT GUN
VIOLENCE CONSTITUTES IN U.S.
IT IS REALLY A MORE ENDEMIC
PROBLEM THAN THE HORRIFIC
EVENTS.

THAT'S ONE OF THE POINTS SHE'S
TRYING TO MAKE.

THEY END UP SHARING THIS HOUSE
AND IT'S REALLY INTENSE AND
CREEPY.
CREEPY.
CREEPY. YOU DON'T GET DETAIL ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING ON BUT THERE IS
THIS SENSE OF PARANOIA AND
DREAD THAT BUILDS OVER THE
COURSE OF THE NOVEL.
>> SO I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
ABOUT THIS ONE.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON.
WHEN THESE HOMEOWNERS SHOW UP,
THEY'RE TWO STRANGERS.
THIS FAMILY HAS TO DECIDE IF
THE HOMEOWNERS ARE LEGIT
TELLING THE TRUTH?
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. IS IT A CON?
ARE THEY GOING TO MURDER THEM?
DO THEY REALLY NEED HELP?
THERE IS NO INFORMATION.
THEY CAN'T GET ON THEIR AIR
