Xochitl Gonzalez (OLGA DIES DREAMING) and Kimberly Garza (THE LAST KARANKAWAS) discussed reluctant moms, writing as "colonized cousins," underrecognized climate aspects of their fiction, and much more.

Gonzalez compared Puerto Rico and the U.S. to a woman who's in a shitty relationship with a man who takes her paychecks and uses her for her beachfront property, and if you like that metaphor you should definitely read her book.
