Listen "21. Sexuality in Speculative Fiction"
Episode Synopsis
Digital Publishing expert and Writer Nick Coveney joins Speculative Sandbox to talk about sexuality in speculative fiction, specifically the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation. We discuss how fiction can be used to challenge "norms", the pressures (and importance!) of representing a marginalized group, the political backlash to having more diverse voices in books, and how authors like J.K. Rowling can hurt a community. Also, do you love X-men? Stay for the deep dive at the end.
