LotJ Presents: YA at the Intersection, Episode 1: A Blade So Black
And now, here's something we hope you'll really like!
After a menacing amount of promising, it's here! James made a YA book podcast. Well, Ariel Rawson made a YA book podcast and James...was present. The LotJ Family is growing. Get into it!
For this, the first stop on our road trip across the landscape Young Adult literature (get the title?!), we have a lot to say. We read L.L. McKinney's A Blade So Black and discuss the origins of Young Adult Literature, the meaning of "Southern"ness, and the pitfalls of critiquing Black lit for its "Blackness". But that's all set-up for an exploration of a novel that pitches itself as "Buffy meet Alice in Wonderland". Prepare for plenty of thoughts about both. And please do reach out with your own books suggestions, thoughts, opinions, whatever really. Let the road trip begin!
