C.L. Clark:
What readings (whether fictional or nonfiction/research related) about colonialism, postcolonialism and queerness inspired you in writing "Magic of the Lost"?
C.L. Clark
Mmm. It's been a while, and a lot of the thinking was synthesized from courses I was in, but a few works/authors off the very top of my head: Wretched of the Earth, Decolonizing the Mind (Ngugi wa Thiong'o), Harlem Hellfighters (Max Brooks), excerpts from Orientalism...works from Algerian and Senegalese authors...There's a lot, since everything builds up to create a whole.

I know it is important when the main character's eyes change color - from brown to yellow but I'm not sure how important? Does only one person at a time have yellow eyes or is this something associated with anyone who has used magic? I don't think so based on the description of the other characters who used magic - I think it means more but I don't/can't wait until bloody MARCH to find out what.
