We are welcoming Roseanne A. Brown today at 12pm SLT. Her bestselling debut novel “A Song of Wraiths and Ruin” is out from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins now.

We will discuss the power of YA and especially Fantasy to transport important themes that resonate in the “real” world and what this genre can do in terms of widening representation of marginalized groups in literature.

We will look at what it means to be an immigrant in 2021 and how we are all complicit in the ongoing global refugee and displacement crises.

Fear not: there will be magic and other worlds to devour as well. But alas: the “physical” realm we inhabit can’t be made to dissapear. For better or worse, we are stuck with this planet and so we better be in solidarity to make it a better place for all.

Sorry, Drax is rambling again! Come to the show to see how Roseanne puts him in is rightful place ….
