So of course, on this episode of Shelf Motivated you'll hear about: Late capitalism and the Potemkin City Limits of the Ikea apartment, books about the Supreme Court, supermarkets, Multi-Level Marketing, a collection of poetry by a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant and Pulitzer Prize winner, and tales of Sarah's missed opportunities as a grocery store manager!
