An Exclusive Excerpt from Late Admissions

As I’m sure you’ve all noticed by now, I’m spending a lot of time doing promotional interviews for Late Admissions: Confessions of a Black Conservative, but I haven’t shared much of it here—until now. I’ve uploaded the memoir’s preface and first chapter in PDF and EPUB format, along with an MP3 from the audiobook below. There is no digital rights management on the files, so you can upload them to as many of your devices as you want. Read or listen, enjoy, and if you feel so moved, click below to order a hard copy, ebook, or audiobook, or pick one up from your local bookstore.

But you’ll only be able to access this excerpt if you’re a paying subscriber. If you’re not yet a paying subscriber, you can click below to become one and gain access to these sample chapters, plus benefits like monthly Q&A sessions with John McWhorter, early access to weekly TGS interviews, bonus episodes and posts, an ad-free podcast feed, and more. This Substack is, in large measure, reader-supported—my team and I could not continue to put out the show without you. So if you feel like you’re getting $6-worth of enjoyment a month out of the show—less than you’d pay for a Big Mac and a Coke—consider becoming a paying subscriber.
