Normal is a wound. Many are suffering from it.
Normal is a weapon. Many are controlled by it.
Normal is a lie. And refusing to believe it is the beginning of freedom.
The Fate of the Dragon: An Illustrated Essay on the New Normal is a poetic, heartbreaking look at the injustices that societies have normalized and the devastating consequences that so many face just for being different. Among those consequences, feeling that suicide is the only way out of pain. However, this book's message is not one of despair, for the dragon's fate is still undecided. And the new normal can look very different from the old normal if we take better care of each other, and if we understand our differences rather than punish them.
The new normal can be a repetition. Or it can be a revolution.
For ages 12 to 112.
(This book is also available in Spanish, as El destino del dragón: un ensayo ilustrado sobre la nueva normalidad.)
