Karen Joy Fowler: We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

From writing about contemporary manners to science fiction and historical mystery, Karen Joy Fowler is one of those authors who is hard to pin down by genre. She talks to Kathryn Ryan about understanding sibling relationships, having an animal psychologist father and why she's chosen to champion the teaching of sci-fi and fantasy writing and increase the understanding of gender in writing. She will be at the Auckland Writers Festival which runs between May 15th- 20th.
