read the states + territories
books from all US states and territories. asking for recommendations! these books must a) be written by an author with a strong connection to the state or territory and b) take place largely in the state or territory. i want to try to prioritize, whenever possible, underrepresented voices / voices that america’s regime tries to silence.
please lmk if any of these authors or texts aren’t good representation.
i will comment a list with each state/territory + its associated book!
Shakespeare: Reimagined & Retold
