In a review forNever Cross a Highlander,Shana came up with the ACAB scale, or the Alyssa Cole Anti-Slavery Book Scale, which ranks how central the horror of slavery is to the storyline. I asked her to tell me all about it, and Shana, kindly, said yes.Our conversation grows (of course) to include the field of narrative therapy and bibliotherapy, other evaluative rubrics for reading, and the subgenres, professions, settings we can, and cannot, relax into.
NB: I had a cold when we recorded, so apologies for my very low voice.
You can find Shana here at SBTB, andon Instagram @BlackBabeReads.
