If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to read any of the works of dead white males like Henry James, Leo Tolstoy or George Eliot, you’ll be shocked at the lack of diversity. I recently read Oliver Twist, a so-called ‘classic’ by a male called Charles Dickens (written on white paper, no less), and there were literally no pangender or non-binary characters, or even the most fleeting reference to a mosque. Even the font had a certain heteronormative quality about it.
