In this episode of Waiting on the Trade, guest host Kathryn Prince joins us to discuss Trung Le Nguyen’s The Magic Fish.

Explanations, Observations, and Links of Note

• As Kat said, The Magic Fish has found itself on many banned books lists, for reasons that make zero sense. A Texas list, for example, wanted to ban books that might “make students feel discomfort.” Sometimes, words fail me.





• Anyway, here’s an explainer about The Streisand Effect. For no particular reason.





• And you can catch that “banned-but-we’re-doing-it-anyway” Watertown performance of “A Mother of A Revolution!” here.





• It’s Poiret, btw.





• If you’d like to learn more about the caudal peduncle, click here to view its entry in the American Fisheries Society’s Fishionary.





• Watch Romeo + Juliet if you haven’t! It’s so over-the-top good! And it’s Harold Perrineau who plays Mercutio.
