For over twenty years, essayist, novelist, and poet, Honorée Fannone Jeffers has been lifting her voice on issues of black culture, racism, American history, and gender through the medium of writing.
In her latest collection, Misbehaving at the Crossroads (Harper, 2025), Jeffers takes on a founding father, a former president, academic institutions, and that white lady in the DEI workshop, finding words for the things we feel in our bones, but struggle to express—including the complex relationships we have with those we love and who have loved us the most.
This conversation was recorded for the New Books Network, and is available in a podcast audio version here.
