Sorry to tack on but my favorite answer is this:

What was it like to find yourself in the middle of the culture war?

It’s very weird. There’s a whole new resurgence of the culture war with the Christopher Nolan movie coming up. I thought it had all died down. I try to remind myself quite regularly that it has nothing to do with me because I genuinely believe it’s this strange cultural phenomenon. After I published the Odyssey translation, it was both celebrated in quite simplistic ways as a work of girl power and it also faced backlash. I thought, Maybe this is actually useful as I engage with this epic poem that is so much about shame, blame, glory, celebrity, eternal fame, and the vulnerabilities of fame that can be generated by other people’s discourse. So I sort of tried to translate it into helping me imaginatively as I was thinking through how the Iliad’s version of celebrity is similar and different to the very fraught culture wars of today. At least I’m not getting speared in the eyeball. That’s great.

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

BODIES OF MAGIC

At the Academie of the Grand Duchy of Sieuxerr, every mage with the healer’s gift has five years to master their power and to prepare for the infamous Grand Exam—a five-day trial whose results will determine their entire future.

The list of exam rules includes: • You will perform five practical cases. • Your exam group is chosen at random. • You pass together, or fail together.

It does not include: • On the first day, your exam group will find a classmate’s dead body in the exam hall.

And as they will soon discover, this particular group all have something to hide… and all have a connection with the dead girl, a brilliant scholar who would have been first in their class. Five scholars. Five secrets. Five days in which to solve a murder, pass the most important exam of their lives, and uncover a secret larger than all of their own combined. One with the potential to change the world.

Are you ready?

Let’s begin.

that's right, folks: it's the next book! coming in september this year, on both sides of the pond.

this one took me decades to brew, months to plan, and a hellish couple of years to write. it's been the bane of my existence and I am THRILLED that it's going to be out in the world soon so I can make it everyone else's problem.

it's half dark academia and half a murder mystery. it has five narrators and they're all having the worst week of their life, and I love them & their terrible decisions so much.

and now, most importantly: is it gay?

yes. yes it is. (m/m and f/nb romances)
