Nisi Shawl's "New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color" Colored Pages Book Club

Ako and Marci are personally enjoying quarantine-enriched, Hot Girl Summers alongside their Summer Short Stories and this week is NO different as they sink their teeth into the short story collection, New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color which was edited by Nisi Shawl.

There is much to get your life to in this collection and we will specifically be discussing; "Harvest" by Rebecca Roanhorse, "Give Me Your Black Wings Oh Sister" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, "Kelsey and the Burdened Breath" by Darcie Little Badger, "Three Variations on a Theme of Imperial Attire" by E. Lily Yu, and "The Shadow We Cast Through Time" by Indrapramit Das! We also did something a bit ~different~ this week for our discussion section that we hope you all will enjoy <3

So enjoy some bottomless Oreos and apple juice while we talk about heauxs summoning demons in Costco, mfs lowkey being into cannibalism, and just other weird things that I suppose our show has turned into at this point. Girl idk lmao
