The Odyssey Bookshop: adrienne maree brown

Join us on Zoom on Wednesday, November 16 as adrienne maree brown talks about her new book, Fables and Spells. She will be joined in conversation by Gibrán Rivera.

About the Book

Fables and Spells is a vibrant selection of visionary works, both previously published and brand new. Included here is brown's most beloved story, "The River," as well as the two sequel tales of her Water Trio. The remaining sixty-seven pieces explore moments of beauty, conflict, and transformation that also weave deep, radical lessons. With narrative "fables" of speculative fiction and "spells" that play with the lines between poetry, instruction, song, and chant, Fables and Spells demonstrates how good writing can engage the present while providing expansive visions of the possible worlds humans can build.
