This week, we plunge into some magical realism, exploring a world where sirens, merpeople, and gargoyles inhabit Portland. This book feels extremely relevant right now; we talk about the role of fantasy in social commentary, the current protests and police violence in Portland, and the cohesive look Morrow takes at misogynoir through her world building.

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and special guest James Hawes (@turrethousepressmtl) break down Stanley Tucci's 1996 cult classic, Big Night! This iteration of the No Bad Food Food Film Festival gets into the push and pull between food as art and food as business, the immigrant experience and the emotional roller coaster of a particularly busy dinner service.
