Read Lupe’s review → Author conversationWhat lives in the headphones
A book podcast that refuses to stay in one box.
Imperfect Rebel connects Lupe Farkas’s work as an author, independent ARC reviewer and reader with long-form conversations about books, publishing and the people behind them.
The show
Book talk for people who need to discuss what just happened.
Imperfect Rebel is where Lupe Farkas talks about books, writing, publishing, audiobooks, adaptations and reader obsessions, and sits down with writers when the conversation deserves more room than a review can give it.
Some episodes are thoughtful. Some are unhinged. Most are probably both. Bring headphones.
