Andrés N. Ordorica is a queer Latinx writer and educator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We had a really long and lovely chat with him before we delved into his book choice (The History of Love by Nicole Krauss), so we thought we'd split it into two episodes!

In this episode we'll chat about the expectation of lockdown creativity, minority representation in literature, the brilliance of Gillian Anderson, and much more.
