In this episode I’m joined by writer and artist Emilly Prado to talk about her book Funeral for Flaca. We explore how narrative nonfiction can hold grief, memory, and survival, and how speculative approaches to writing can open space for telling difficult truths that realism alone can’t always contain. Our conversation moves through feminism, embodiment, and the radical possibilities of queering form itself — asking what it means to write toward liberation when reality has already been fractured.
