OM DENNE EPISODE
Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 60 of the Ecofictology podcast! This week I am introducing you to a wonderful author, AE Copenhaver, who I had the great pleasure of talking to. This interview is a little different than others I have done because I wasn’t only interviewing her about her book, My Days of Dark Green Euphoria, which was published by Ashland Creek Press, you’ll recognise that publisher if you’ve been around for a while...but i wasn’t only asking questions about that, what i really wanted to talk to Athena about was the strength of messaging in ecofiction. When i first read the book which Ashland creek press sent to me, i was a little unsure whether i enjoyed it because the vegan messaging was so intense, until i realised that it was supposed to be over the top and satirical, more of a commentary on the angry vegan than actually saying this is how people should act. And then it became funny and more powerful. But it was such an interesting discussion and we really enjoyed ourselves, so i hope that comes across here. This is an archived episode from my youtube channel so if you want to watch us have this chat, which i would almost recommend because we laughed a lot and Athena is very engaging to watch, you can find the link in the shownotes. I hope you enjoy
