Episode 144: Gerardo Sámano Córdova

Gerardo Sámano Córdova is a writer and artist from Mexico City. In his debut novel, Monstrilio , Gerardo draws from both horror and literary fiction traditions to tell a story about grief, family, and self-acceptance. In our conversation, Gerardo and I talked about genre expectations, genre fiction as a site of art, and what it means to be monstrous. For the second segment, we talked about the tension between fulfilling your own artistic vision and creating work that will sell.
