Just before Halloween, I had the great pleasure of speaking to Ayana Gray, one of my favorite authors and people, about her widely-lauded upcoming book I, MEDUSA!
Some topics of discussion: distinctions between Greek and Roman mythology, the timely and timeless impact of power, factors that contribute to literary age categories, our mutual adoration of doodles, Hiba’s favorite Halloween movies, and Ayana’s favorite Bob’s Burgers’ episodes!
**Plus, a spoilers section at the very end of the interview!**
I, MEDUSA will be released next Tuesday, November 18, and is available for preorder now.

Marlin “Bart” Barton was a “Literature in Action” panelist at the Deep South Convening, a historical gathering of literary folks based in the South that I attended in May! I was grateful to have a chance to ask him questions about his work teaching students in juvenile facilities and in the Converse University low-residency MFA.
