🔴 Rare Book Cafe COFFEE BREAK No. 17:
Author Larry Baker and his famous ghosts

Iowa City writer Larry Baker returns to Rare Book Cafe to discuss Harry and Sue, A Story of Love and Ghosts. It’s his new novel from Ice Cube Press, a heartwarming and clever tale of love found, love lost, and love found again. The discussion also turns to the Hollywood writers’ strike and widespread trend toward banning books. It’s a worthwhile journey.
