A bookshop conversation about Mindy Misener's debut novel Good Guys, which follows two estranged sisters after a young soldier from a small Maine town dies in Iraq and disturbing wartime photographs he took threaten to unravel his community's belief in him as a hometown hero. What begins as an attempt to expose the truth becomes an examination of American patriotism, religious loyalty and the protection afforded to men deemed beyond reproach. Misener joins Emily Itami, author of Fault Lines and Kakigori Summer, to discuss the mythology of the good guy and what telling the truth may cost.
