Interview with Chana Porter

You can read my interview with Chana Porter over on IZ Digital here!

Porter has just written an dystopian sort of novel about life in a society where food consumption is seen as shameful while sex acts are "totally destigmatized," in Porter's words. Plus there's class issues! I liked this book very much, and Porter's interview was great.

My favorite bit from the interview:

I found Octavia Butler when I was 19 in a public library. By some stroke of luck, I pulled Dawn down from the shelf. I had no idea who she was. And that book rewired my brain. I don’t think I would have written The Seep without the Lilith’s Brood series – an alien invasion of Earth that solves as many problems as it creates, and thinks so expansively about gender and sexuality.
