Reclaiming History: A Panel – Brick and Mortar Book Store

Brick and Mortar will be hosting a panel at the end of summer on Reclaiming History, delving into a range of subjects on the myriad ways marginalized people are erased and why that matters in our fiction.

There will be a brilliant group of panelists whose work all touches on this subject in different ways: Olivia Waite (The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics), Somaiya Daud (Mirage), Lauren Dane (Whiskey Sharp series), Jasmine Silvera (Grace Bloods series), and A.J. Hackwith (The Library of the Unwritten).

From forgotten queer and black history to the erasure of women’s work throughout history in artistic and scientific fields, we hope you’ll join us in interrogating the ways our society has deliberately chosen to remember and represent its history and what that means for us today, in our world and in our stories.
