Ep 157: Alex London 2.0

Alex London--author of the Proxy Series, the Wild Ones series,
and more, about his new young adult novel, BLACK WINGS
BEATING--talks about the patriarchal influence on narrative
structure, considering queer heroism, being terrified of coming
back to YA, and why Jonathan Franzen owes him a thank you note.
