Welcome back! I have been writing a dystopian fantasy novel that is constantly outstripped by actual events, and making collage dioramas out of tissue boxes. Just finished Isabella Hammad's novel "Enter Ghost", about a troupe of Palestinian actors putting on an Arabic version of "Hamlet" in defiance of Israeli authorities. It's inspiring without overstating the power of art to change politics.
Thanks Jendi! "Enter Ghost" sounds amazing, I'm definitely going to put it on my TBR list! As for dystopian novel writing, I feel that. Amazing to think just how accurate Octavia Butler was. For a generation of writers, living in this dystopia, I find myself wondering where do we need to project our imaginations?
