Twelve-year-old Cora is autistic. Her friend Aiden has ADHD. When a car accident leaves Aiden in a coma, the company run by Aiden’s father gives Cora the opportunity to interact with a holographic digital clone of her friend. While the seeming replica provides some comfort at first, Cora comes to realize that behaviors related to Aiden’s ADHD have been removed from the digital version. She learns too that the company’s interest in her stems from her autism: they are studying Cora so that they can figure out how to “correct” the clones of neurodiverse people, making them “normal.” Throughout Show Us Who You Are, there are clear points of contact between the novel and the myth of Persephone and Hades. The noun “Cora” is a version of “Kore,” which means “Maiden” and serves as an alternative name for Persephone. Aiden’s name echoes Hades’, and his dog Cerby recalls Cerberus. The cloning company is called the Pomegranate Institute. At other moments, however, Show Us Who You Are upends narrative expectations we might have based on our own knowledge of the Greek myth. And that seems to me to be part of the program. Show Us Who You Are is an explicit anthem for neurodiversity; it may also be an implicit manifesto for the creative transformation of traditional stories. Why should retellings be “normal?” What might we see, learn, or think about if we break them out of their inherited patterns? How does continued adherence to expected or “normal” patterns limit not only stories but ourselves as well? – Rebecca Resinski
