DC bookstore quoted in audio adaptation of ‘Dykes to Watch Out For’ story

Grace Burke, 23, the manager of Little District Books in Washington, D.C., said that they liked "the accessibility aspect," noting that an audio adaptation would bring the work to people who couldn't interact with visuals. But Mx. Burke has other concerns about the adaptation. "Audible is owned by Amazon," they said. "I don't really mess with Amazon. I think that a lot of queer people relate to that. The types of people who likely engage with Alison Bechdel aren't the types of people who love Amazon and support it unless they have to."
