Name That Tune-and Book

摘要

When a prospective date asked Kiara Garrett to recommend a book, she suggested Junot Diaz's This Is How You Lose Her. He mistakenly thought the collection offered relationship advice. Garrett told him, "If you liked Jay-Z's album 4:44, then you would like this book." Later she realized she'd stumbled onto a great readers' advisory tool and began to match her favorite books with albums, creating the "If you like this album" book list. She paired 20 writers of color with hip-hop and pop culture artists, shining a spotlight on socially conscious books and albums.
