I’m excited be part of a panel for AWP 2021: Embracing the Strange: The Power of Genre-Bending in Fiction, with authors Joy Baglio, Matthew Lansburgh, Sequoia Nagamatsu, and Lara Ehrlich.

Here’s the panel summary:

​Recent years have seen an increase in literary fiction that bends toward the fantastic and strange: Are literary fiction writers bored of realism? Or do “strange” and “magical” stories allow us to better express the raw truths of our lived experiences? In this panel, award-winning writers who explore strange and fantastic premises in their fiction will discuss what drew them to genre-bend, what challenges they faced, as well as how the surreal has enabled them to get at difficult truths.
