Tales From The Trunk

It’s my distinct pleasure, this time around, to welcome Emma Mieko Candon (@EmmaCandon) to the show to talk about their incredible new book, The Archive Undying, out June 27th, 2023, from Tor Dot Com! After a reading from the book’s opening, we descent almost immediately into gremlin mode about the inspirations for the book (our favorite podcast (you know the one)), Star Wars, and the intersection of cultures.   Things we mention this episode:   Friends at the Table Mike’s episode Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie Pacific Rim NieR:Automata Carl Engle-Laird Just Like Home, by Sarah Gailey The Genesis of Misery, by Neon Yang Lindsey Hall The Tensorate Series, by Neon Yang Docile, by K.M.
