Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Everyone knew DBC Pierre’s satirical debut novel would be different — if only because it’s set in the aftermath of a Colombine-like high school shooting. But very few expected his satire to win prestigious literary awards, and even fewer expected the revelations about the author’s scandalous early life filled with drug abuse, crime, and other misdeeds. Kojo talks to Pierre about his life and career, including his newest book, a satire set in Britain which takes a disturbing and daring look the impact of globalization.
Guests
