Alix E. Harrow took our brains AND the world by storm with her debut, THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY. Is it portal fiction? Is it science fiction? Is it fantasy? Is it period fiction? Is it feminist fiction? Is it queer fiction? Is it a Nebula Award nominee? Is it ALL THE THINGS?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and YES.
Harrow is the kind of person who can claim a font color because it is “the dusky rose of a Kentucky sunset” but also talk seriously about depression and waiting for an owl with an invitation to Hogwarts. She is so full of heart and soul and good words and the kind of generous-spirited human the world really needs more of right now.
