178: Sequoia Nagamatsu (HOW HIGH WE GO IN THE DARK) & Brenda Peynado's THE ROCK EATERS

Sequoia Nagamatsu, author of How High We Go in the Dark steps into the Damn Library Pocket Universe and covers a lot of ground, both real and metaphysical. We get into why most pandemic novels don't focus on pandemics, how he put together some of the more wild chapters, and of course robot dogs. And then he brings out Brenda Peynado's The Rock Eaters, a collection of short stories that takes the figurative and makes it have weight - so of course Sequoia talks on what makes for a successful short story.
