In this week's episode of Reading for Attention, Paul and Sarah dive into the mobster-ruled world of Harlem in the late 1950s. Colson Whitehead's eighth novel, Harlem Shuffle, is a story divided into three parts, woven together through deliciously detailed settings, complex characters, and sociopolitical issues that still bear true almost seventy years later.
Despite the heavy themes, Paul and Sarah decided to wash this one down with The Harlem, a delightfully fruity cocktail of gin, pineapple juice and maraschino liqueur. Well, that's what it's supposed to be...
The pair then go on to discuss all the things they did as children to get a taste of that sweet, sweet attention. The the exhaustive list comprises saxophone playing, skull breaking and winning BBC's Pointless. Y'know, the usual.
