But not every novel about motherhood has to rage. Maybe we need the space Minot creates for enchantment, beauty and the “surreal magnificence” of having a baby.

I imagine that reviews will emphasize the urgency of a fminist dystopian novel about autonomy, motherhood and surveillance, but here I'd like to tell readers that this novel is about witches and it's incredibly entertaining. If only we could all be witches.

A transformative, consciousness-altering experience. When I finished reading, I felt like I was filled with electricity and there were light beams shooting out of my head and I didn’t understand why no one else could see them.

Belated congrats to @haszombiesinit on the publication of your brilliant, mind-bending, soul-enriching collection WHITE CAT, BLACK DOG. Being asked to blurb your book was a bucket-list dream I didn’t know I could have. Best deadline ever. ❤️ https://t.co/DlPjAO2foW
