<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">My guest this week is <a href="https://www.trungles.com/">Trung Le Nguyen</a>, author of the new graphic novel <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/604737/angelica-and-the-bear-prince-by-trung-le-nguyen/"><em>Angelica and the Bear Prince</em></a>. Trung’s books emerge from his lifelong love of fairy tales, some of them quite dark, and also his fascination with people figuring out how to take care of each other. </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We’ll have that conversation in just a minute. First, a quick heads up that I have a new <a href="http://youtube.com/mattbaume">YouTube video</a> out about <a href="https://youtu.be/ZtGKiiNfai8">Frankenstein and the gay director who brought the monster to life, James Whale</a>. That’s at <a href="http://youtube.com/mattbaume">youtube.com/mattbaume</a>. And throughout November, join us for a week of <em>Wizard of Oz </em>themed livestreams over at <a href="http://twitch.tv/mattbaume">http://twitch.tv/mattbaume</a> — leading up to a new video at the end of the month about why that film has always held particular importance for the gays.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And as always, if you’re enjoying <em>The Sewers of Paris</em>, head over to <a href="http://patreon.com/mattbaume">Patreon.com/mattbaume</a> to become a member, support the show, and get access to bonus videos and more.</p>
