Talking Scared95 – J.M. Miro and Throwing Your Arms Around the MonstersSend us a textThis week we go to magic school, but there isn’t a f***ing owl or a talking hat in sight.Instead, it’s a much more macabre affair, as J. M. Miro begins his trilogy of dark sorcery with Ordinary Monsters. J. M. goes by a different name in his other, more prosaic writing life, but here, with us, in the blood and the shadows he writes as his second self. Which is a long-winded and torturous way to say this is a pseudonym.We talk about...2022-06-071h 19

The Trans-AtlanticistLadyFiction #12: Art, Science, and the Legacies of Slavery in Esi Edugyan's Washington Blackwith Stefanie Schaefer and Nele Sawallisch
With her guest Nele Sawallisch, Stefanie discusses Esi Edugyan's 2018
novel Washington Black. With Olaudah Equiano's 1789 autobiography as
intertext, the novel entangles the adventure story with the slave
narrative. As Washington Black travels from Barbados to the Arctic, from
Virginia to London, his narrative asks about the (hi)stories that remain
out of the light and the making of 19th century discoverer personas
against the backdrop of gratuitous black labor.2022-04-0547 min
