Produktbeschreibung

Nineteen contributors from India and Australiaincluding Printz Awardwinning author Margo Lanagan and New York Times bestsellers Justine Larbalestier and Samhita Arnirteam up to create a "rare treat of speculative literature" in this groundbreaking feminist collection that "bursts with imagination" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). A post-apocalyptic Little Red Riding Hood. Girls and boys turning the tables on creepy old cat-callers. Female pirates rescuing abused women. A futuristic cooking show. These are just a few of the stories told in Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean, a feminist speculative fiction collection, born of a collaboration between Australian and Indian writers. Finding themselves inspired to action after crimes against women dominated national conversations, the editors of this collection paired writers and illustrators from India and Australia together to write stories, graphic novels, and even a play that reimagine what girls can be and see themselves as. The results are stunning. Some of the authors worked together, some wrote stories along a similar theme, but all seventeen stories blend magical realism and self-confidence in a powerful and inspiring way.
