Man Booker Prize-winner, Marlon James, sits down with Mitchell and shares many things, such as what inspires him, his favorite books and growing up in Jamaica reading “anything he can get his hands on.”. *Black Leopard,* part one of a trilogy, will soon become a film. Great book, great episode! This conversation was recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida. Not to be missed!
