Hi, friends! 

In this mini teaser episode, I'll tell you what I have planned for this year (spoiler alert: plenty of awesome stuff).

You can expect some episodes about:

✨ Writing a novel in 3 languages
✨ A chat about Identity when being an exophonic writer
✨A chat about Translation VS. Exophonic Writing
✨More cool literary stuff, such as Constricted Writing

...aaaaand, what I'm most excited of all:

✨EXOPHONIC CHATS! A section in which I'll have exophonic or exophonic-related guests so we can slowly but surely create a space where our exophonic struggles and joys get shared and talked about. 

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

 Don't miss out, click on SUBSCRIBE so you're notified when I upload new content.

 it'll be an awesome year! :D

Welcome and I hope you enjoy the topic of today:
fiction that is playful and magical and interactive and fun. 🌈✨

As I mention in the episode, this is not a category that already exists in libraries and bookstores, but a rather personal mix of my own.

These are the books and authors mentioned:

🪄Alice in Wonderland - By Lewis Carroll

🪄The Jabberwocky:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQos7-Vq8M

🪄The little Prince - By Antoine de Saint Exupery

🪄Lemony Snicket (Alter ego of writer Daniel Handler)

🪄Dailan Kifki - María Elena Walsh (legendary Argentinian singer-songwriter and storyteller)

🪄 Fortunately, the Milk - Neil Gaiman

🪄 Novels in verse by Sarah Crossan

🪄 Love that Dog - by Sharon Creech (also in verse)

🪄Calligram  "The Apple" by R. C. Rigg
https://moodle.sd79.bc.ca/mod/book/view.php?id=50335&chapterid=40107


And what do all these books have in common?

Well, they are all for children AND for adults. Maybe carrying a different message for each group.

They make a particular use of repetition for comedic effect.

There's plenty of interaction with the readers and they feature very unusual narrators.

Long story short (ha!) they are more than the story they seem to be. They carry an extra shot of magic and surprise to razzle-dazzle their readers.
