Episode 112 - AJ Hackwith on Finding One's Family ... in Hell's Library
AJ Hackwith came to our attention late in 2019 when she published LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN, the first book in a series that takes us inside Hell’s Library to meet its inimitable Librarian, Claire. Tasked with overseeing the Library’s Unwritten Wing, where all of the books that have never quite come to be, Claire must go on a quest to recover one particularly pernicious manuscript––a quest that ultimately takes her not to the throes of a fiery judgment but instead on a romp through a few choice underworlds, including the living world.
With its underpinnings of queerness and found family relationships, underworlds and life inside a library, LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN more or less *screeched* “WHEELHOUSE”! as it pirouetted through the winter air to our waiting fingertips. We are so excited to speak to Hackwith on today’s episode about the function of libraries both fantastical and factual, what it’s like to transition from writing romance to (spite) writing fantasy, weird dragon sex, and making room for some of the underrepresented letters in the LGBTQIA+ alphabet in the fantasy genre.
You can find out more about Hackwith’s work, past-present-future, at www.amandahackwith.com. You can also follow her on Twitter and Instagram, both at @ajhackwith. The sequel to LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN, ARCHIVE OF THE FORGOTTEN, comes out in October of 2020. Color us EXCITED.
