Marlon and Jake Read Dead People is a podcast hosted by the Man Booker Prize-winning and internationally bestselling author Marlon James and his editor, Jake Morrissey, Executive Editor at Riverhead Books. In each episode, Marlon and Jake talk about authorsspecifically dead authors. Authors they like. Authors they hate. Great books, terrible books, and books they love that youd never expect them to. As a writer and an editor, Marlon and Jake have read thousands of books between them, and theyre not shy in expressing their opinions about them. Sometimes theyll agree, sometimes they wont, but in every episode, theyll tell you what they think uncensored and with no holds barred. (Thats why the authors have to be dead.) So, listen along to hear about the spectacularly good, the hilariously bad, and the brutally honest.
