leahbobetEverybody's doing it! For values of "everybody" that include people who have a Wiscon schedule.
I will be at:
What is Fabulist Fiction?
In several recent anthologies the work contained was described as 'fabulist' (or 'new-wave fabulist'). So what is fabulist writing, and where does it stand with regard to fantastic and to literary writing? Does it combine these two genres in some way or form a voice 'interstitially' between them? Does it resemble the fable, and if so does it teach or point toward a teaching? Do animals have a special place in fabulist fiction? What about the experience of people in places once or actually colonized? Is a 'fabulist fiction' different from a 'story,' is it different from a 'tale'? What sort of a reading does fabulist writing demand, and what sort of readership would be drawn to it? Lots of questions--come contribute answers!
Saturday, 10:30-11:45 P.M.
Conference 5
M: Theodora Goss, Leah Bobet, Darja Malcolm-Clarke
Otherwise, I shall likely be found in the bar. *g*
