The TJJT Book Club team (Tayari Jones & Johnny Temple) interview S.A. Cosby about Waffle House, whiskey, the future of America, and his latest novel, Razorblade Tears.

A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance. Provocative and fast-paced, S. A. Cosby’s Razorblade Tears is a story of bloody retribution, heartfelt change – and maybe even redemption. It can be ordered on Bookshop.org.
