*Author Veronica Schanoes on Her Debut Collection, "Burning Girls and Other
Stories"*

Mark Soderstrom and Kira Moodliar join in conversation with Veronica
Schanoes on her recent book, "Burning Girls and Other Stories" published by
Tor.com Publishing.

Veronica Schanoes is an American author of fantasy stories and an associate
professor in the department of English at Queens College, CUNY.

>From Tor.com Publishing:

When we came to America, we brought anger and socialism and hunger. We also
brought our demons.

In *Burning Girls and Other Stories*, Veronica Schanoes crosses borders and
genres with stories of fierce women at the margins of society burning their
way toward the center. This debut collection introduces readers to a
fantasist in the vein of Karen Russell and Kelly Link, with a voice all her
own.

Emma Goldman—yes, that Emma Goldman—takes tea with the Baba Yaga and truths
unfold inside of exquisitely crafted lies. In 'Among the Thorns,' a young
woman in seventeenth-century Germany is intent on avenging the brutal
murder of her peddler father, but discovers that vengeance may consume all
that it touches. In the showstopping, awards finalist title story, 'Burning
Girls,' Schanoes invests the immigrant narrative with a fearsome fairytale
quality that tells a story about America we may not want—but need—to hear.

Dreamy, dangerous, and precise, with the weight of the very oldest tales we
tell, Burning Girls and Other Stories introduces a writer pushing the
boundaries of both fantasy and contemporary fiction.

Our last show featured a conversation with Richard Wolff. Interviewers Joe
Ramsey and Rachel Yarashus Patten not only spurred a conversation about the
pandemic and capitalism but also engaged with Wolff on the role of public
intellectuals and also on the relationship between Marxism and social
theory.
