## Resource

The GRETAGRAM book club is officially in podcast form! Host Greta Johnsen talks to Nina McConigley , the author of How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder . Her novel is the GRETAGRAM book club selection for February. It’s about two teenage sisters who decide they must kill their uncle.  While this book is intense it’s also funny and strange -- or, as Nina puts it, cheeky!  Nina talks about the weirdness of growing up in an immigrant family in Wyoming, the complicated legacy of colonialism, and the nostalgic power of Noxema.
