In this episode we talk about Cody's new book, Half-Bads in White Regalia, a memoir of growing up in a complicated and fraught family dynamic that is never the less light-hearted and filled with warmth. We also talk about his mentor, Lee Maracle, and how their relationship informed Cody's book as well as his essay, The Shadow Land: Indigenous Memoirs and the Question of ‘Trauma Porn.’ We also discuss writing as pleasure, how music is connected to writing, writing about trauma and audience, particularly in regards to indigenous literature.
