Episode 31: Elsa Sjunneson - The Livelong Night

This time around, I had the pleasure of talking to Hugo-award-winning author and editor Elsa Sjunneson (@snarkbat)! Elsa reads an excerpt from her terrific currently-trunked novel, The Livelong Night, which launches us into a conversation about representation, trunking (the bad kind), disability, and her forthcoming memoir, Being Seen, which releases this October!   Things we mentioned this episode: Worldcon 76 Burying your gays (trope)  Mad-Eye Moody  Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir The Book of Eli  Daredevil  The ghost of Peter Stuyvesant  Reviews of Being Seen from Kirkus and Booklist  Scream (TV show) “I Belong Where the People Are: Disability & The Shape of Water," by Elsa Sjunneson Children of a Lesser God  Me Before You  "The Home Front," my 9/11 essay "Blind Women Get Married Too," by Elsa Sjunneson RSD - Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Ready or Not  The Invisible Man (2020) The Chair  The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver Exvangelicals  Beowulf, audiobook, translated by Seamus Heaney   Join us again next month, when my guests will be Rem Wigmore and Freya Marske!
