Maya Phillips explores race, religion, sexuality, and more through the lens of her favorite pop culture fandoms.
What The Reviewers Say
Breezy, personal, engaging.
In her debut essay collection...fandom is an expansive, transformative source of self-enlightenment.
She draws parallels between her own personal development and that of fandom culture at large, encompassing media from comics and books to movies and television. Her loose chronological organization is interwoven with themes that emerge as she has evolved to use a more critical lens on her cultural consumption. She dives into the power of superhero stories.
Astute.
