...I take a look at Hannah Moskowitz's upcoming A History of Glitter and Blood:

It’s about the importance of story, and the process of trying to tell a story; it’s about the importance of knowing the identity, motivation, and ultimate goal of the entity framing a narrative, and it’s about how all histories are colored by the perceptions and perspectives of those who are documenting them. A history of Ferrum as written by fairies is going to be entirely different story than a history of Ferrum as written by gnomes, for instance—and for that reason, this book is so, so relevant to the ongoing conversations about race and history and injustice and storyteller bias in the wake of Ferguson, Baltimore, Charleston.
