Adar read sixty-eight fantasy books last year alone. Fantasy is her escape from reality. But when the real-world issues of racism and sexism started creeping into her books, she realized she could no longer escape.

Produced by Adar Abdi.

Adar Abdi is a White Center teenager with a passion for fantasy. She gravitated to fantasy novels as an escape from reality, into worlds without racism or sexism. But as she continued to read, she found more messages — subtle and overt — that brought the same issues she tried to avoid to the forefront. This piece is an imagined confrontation between Adar and a fantasy writer.
