Description

School is back in session, and Eve and Julie have their hands raised high for Sara Beasley, an English teacher of 34 years. They discuss why studying fiction is crucial, how teachers can make the pages Dostoevsky fly by, the unexpected secret to transforming a reluctant reader into a bookworm, the lasting impact of contemporary African writers, and upsides (they exist!) of teaching in the midst of COVID-19.
