Christopher Cevasco Quoted in L.A. Times Article

My buddy Chris Cevasco, an author and also the editor of Paradox magazine, was just quoted in this L.A. Times article about historical novelist Karen Essex.

Essex’s historical novels join a field increasingly filled with female writers rehabilitating female characters, such as Ashley Crownover’s Wealtheow: Her Telling of Beowulf and Susan Fraser King’s Lady MacBeth, noted Christopher M. Cevasco, editor and publisher of the historical-fiction-focused Paradox magazine.

“Female figures in history have tended to be viewed as extremes, either the virtuous extreme or the dastardly extreme,” Cevasco said. “They almost tend not to be described as real people. I think Karen succeeds in making her characters come alive as women rather than as caricatures.”
