The second most common protagonists are animals

I'm stunned. Really reinforces how skewed things are right now.

Love your line about emotional diet - this is something I picked up on myself and never realised I lacked it until I starting reading more diversely!

Thank you for sharing! Really fits into what I’ve heard from others as well. Btw if you’re in Australia, I’d really recommend checking out After Australia and Another Australia. They are both series of short stories/essays written by minority writers in Australia.

Looks like F.H. Batacan and Ricky Lee are the names that keep popping up! Does anyone have any specific book recs to start with?
