Waiting on the Trade

The Magic Fish

Listen Later

In this episode of Waiting on the Trade, guest host Kathryn Prince joins us to discuss Trung Le Nguyen’s The Magic Fish.

Explanations, Observations, and Links of Note
  • As Kat said, The Magic Fish has found itself on many banned books lists, for reasons that make zero sense. A Texas list, for example, wanted to ban books that might “make students feel discomfort.” Sometimes, words fail me.
  • Anyway, here’s an explainer about The Streisand Effect. For no particular reason.
  • And you can catch that “banned-but-we’re-doing-it-anyway” Watertown performance of “A Mother of A Revolution!” here.
  • It’s Poiret, btw.
  • If you’d like to learn more about the caudal peduncle, click here to view its entry in the American Fisheries Society’s Fishionary.
  • Watch Romeo + Juliet if you haven’t! It’s so over-the-top good! And it’s Harold Perrineau who plays Mercutio.
    • Follow-Up Recommendations
