NPR's Book of the Day - After three decades, John Grisham follows ‘The Firm’ with ‘The Exchange’

We can't do a week about books turned into films without speaking with John Grisham. In today's episode, the author of The Pelican Brief and The Innocent Man speaks with our host Andrew Limbong about writing a follow-up to his hit The Firm after three decades. The Exchange follows lawyer Mitch McDeere's work across the globe – and on a pro bono case. Here, Grisham gets frank about how his trust in the justice system has changed, and how his views on Hollywood have, too.

Land of the Giants - What We All Got Wrong About Twitter

Twitter began life as an accident. In the beginning, even its founders weren’t sure what it was: the internet’s town square, a real-time information source, or the next Facebook, maybe? Twitter's power has always been misunderstood -- by its leaders, by its users, and lately, by the world's richest person.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Color Purple’ is about the bonding of women

The Color Purple is about the survival of Black women in a male-dominated world. Author Alice Walker said that she just wrote what happens in the real world. The book has been made into a film and a Broadway musical already – now it's being turned into a new musical film. In 1982, Walker told former NPR reporter Faith Fancher that "one of the reasons I wanted to have strong, beautiful, wonderful women loving each other is because I think that people can deal with that. [...] I think that the people who are uptight and bigoted and afraid in their own lives will have difficulty."

Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Microscopes and Microscopy

Ever since humans could see, we’ve been able to look up at the night sky and see things lightyears away.

However, for almost that entire time, we had no idea that right in front of us, there was another world so small that we couldn’t see it.

That world was first unveiled in the 17th century, and since then, we have developed the ability to see ever smaller things.

Learn more about the history of microscopes and microscopy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Isabel Wilkerson argues that ‘Caste,’ not racism caused The Great Migration

Isabel Wilkerson followed her novel about The Great Migration, The Warmth of Other Suns, with another book that looks at why it happened. Caste – recently made into a film by director Ava DuVernay – argues that caste and not racism is actually what Black people were fleeing when they left the Jim Crow South. Wilkerson told Throughline's Ramtin Arablouei and Rund Abdelfatah that the term racism is rooted in hate but caste is about "power and how those other groups manage and navigate and seek to survive in a society that's created with this ranked hierarchy."
