Todos os anos várias autoras ganham relevância na nossa literatura, em todos os gêneros. Mulheres que deixam sua marca com histórias fortes, emocionantes, divertidas, premiadas e sensíveis. Contudo, apesar do talento, mesmo nos dias de hoje, ainda é preciso luta por parte das escritoras para vencer preconceitos e ocupar espaço, publicar e vender seus livros e alcançar o reconhecimento necessário. A fim de valorizar a produção literária feminina, essa edição do Autores e Livros traz apenas autoras nesta edição. Entre as dicas de leitura, obras de Rachel de Queiroz, Carolina de Jesus, Adélia Prado e Sunyi Dean. Na entrevista, uma conversa com a jornalista, poeta e escritora Jules de Faria sobre o livro “Talvez este não seja o meu ano” e também sobre o trabalho da Think Olga, uma das ONGs de direitos das mulheres de maior relevância do cenário nacional.

It's time to go back to school, which means we're reading to figure out who we are! Let's get thinking about the books -- and the people -- that shape us and teach us and define us. ITINERARY: Sunyi Dean (The Book Eaters) talks about whether its possible to be a good person, letting go of perfection, and her book-devouring vampires. (Recorded live at the 2022 Jericho Writers Summer Festival of Writing) Olivie Blake (The Atlas Series) talks about being a reformed pantser, writing from a place of fandom, and the appeal of teaching through fiction. Valerie Broussard (Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter) talks about the importance of genre in her own education and how it might help serve the education of others.

This week's discussion begins with Gary wondering about what he tentatively calls the use of absurdism in some recent novels, mentioning Kelly Barnhill's When Women Were Dragons and Sunyi Dean's forthcoming The Book Eaters, each of which features a powerful central metaphor that refuses to resolve itself into traditional SF or fantasy systems—somewhat like the old Theatre of the Absurd playwrights like Ionesco. This leads to yet another discussion of what may be happening with the notion of genres, and how an earlier generation of gatekeeping editors has given way to editors more welcoming to a variety of voices and approaches. We more or less conclude that, while this reinvigorates the traditional genres, there are plenty of options for readers who still prefer the familiar formulas and traditions. Finally, we talk a bit about getting together for a possible live podcast at Chicon later this summer.
