Episode 110: Maggie Tokuda-Hall
Maggie Tokuda-Hall is a writer and podcaster based in San Francisco, CA. Maggie\u2019s debut YA novel, The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea, is a swashbuckling pirate fantasy, and it\u2019s also a nuanced and subversive story about colonialism, the power of storytelling, and the cost of violence. In our conversation, Maggie and I talked about her love of working in multiple forms and genres, the presentation of race in her novel, and writing the horrificness of violence. Then in the second segment, we discussed how to talk to our kids about problematic books and authors.
(Conversation recorded April 29, 2020.)
