Midnight Radio by Iolanda Zanfardino
medium-paced
- Strong character development? Yes
Ok, so there are more kinds of media called "Midnight Radio" than I realized.
Awhile ago, I read a comic called "Midnight Radio" by Ehud Lavski and Yael Nathan. I remembered the premise was intrique related to a mysterious late night broadcast. I think I rented this book thinking that it was a development of that one shot into a book. They're completely separate and unconnected works.
This book tells four interconnected stories. Three people happen to be listening to the radio when a shocking, life changing broadcast goes out. They all deal with the repercussions of how they choose to live their lives afterwards.
There's exploration of parental expectations, forcible rematriation of art, crooked cops, queer life post-Pulse, sibling sickness, doing the right thing, racism, misogyny, love, and death.
The ending came as a twist to me, but you can probably figure it out if you're expecting it. I just got engrossed in the story so I wasn't connecting the dots.
