WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON

Scott Takeda dazzles in his narration of this thought-provoking novel. After a Black man is killed at the hands of an Asian American police officer, Reed decides he's going to drop out of college and devote himself to activist work full time. But both his parents used to do activist work, and in a series of conversations with them and their former comrades, Reed begins to rethink his future. Takeda takes on this novel of ideas, embodying each character's unique dialogue. While many narrators might have been tripped up by having to continually deliver deep conversations about philosophical ideas, Takeda's narration keeps listeners engaged with the story.
