The Autobiography of a Traitor and a Half-Savage by Alix E. Harrow

4.0

Five star story, but a four star review: ok I get that this was published awhile ago, and while the story holds up mostly (truely I loved it), a white author writing about an Indigenous protagonist in a story steeped in race and history and belief doesn't necessarily hold up in 2023. Sure, it's set in a parallel universe and it's a fantasy short story - again the story is great - but, well, the author sort of addresses that here: https://writtenworld.substack.com/p/the-written-world-of-whiteness.

Just a caution to think critically and request to seek our Indigenous writers also, not a cancel.
