In today's episode, we interview authors Ada Hoffmann (The Outside, The Fallen) and R.B. Lemberg (The Four Profound Weaves, Birdverse). We talk about their fiction and get deep into neurodiversity and queer and trans representation in speculative fiction, discussing internality, pacing, trauma, and who gets to tell their own stories--and how.
