Episode 115: Thorn by Intisar Khanani

Join Matt and Cassie as we discuss Thorn by Intisar Khanani, a book with a fascinating path to publication. We discuss another intricately built world and a second veritable buffet of trauma responses, the worst version of Conrad, the power struggle inherent in who gets to choose the narrative, horses vs. Horses, and the beauty of an ambiguous ending.

Trigger warnings for this book and episode include physical and sexual assault. Please read and listen carefully.
