Kirsty Wark presents a special edition of Talking Books from the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2018 where she talks to American author T Geronimo Johnson. Born and raised in New Orleans but now living in California Johnson uses razor sharp satire to address current issues surrounding race, class and identity. The New York Times said of his latest book Welcome to Braggsville - "it's the funniest send up of identity politics and white racial anxiety to hit the scene in years". Delivering unblinking insights into modern day America T Geronimo Johnson is unafraid to unsettle us all, with both dark humour and deep compassion.
