This week, we plunge into some magical realism, exploring a world where sirens, merpeople, and gargoyles inhabit Portland. This book feels extremely relevant right now; we talk about the role of fantasy in social commentary, the current protests and police violence in Portland, and the cohesive look Morrow takes at misogynoir through her world building.
