Marcus, author of many great interviews for The Horn Book Magazine, here compiles interviews with thirteen authors of books that have created what the great John Lewis called “good trouble.” Some of the writers (Robie H. Harris, Katherine Paterson) are well-established advocates of the freedom to read, while others (Meg Medina, Angie Thomas) have jumped in more recently. In all cases, Marcus provides welcome context in each author’s work and life as a whole, demonstrating that intellectual freedom is a right that permeates all creative work.
From the July/August 2021 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
