This is Cameron Roberson, and what you're about to listen to is an interview I did with award winning author and professor of English literature, Theodora Goss. In part 1 of this three part interview, we'll discuss:
- animal magic and Ursilla LeGuin's science fiction
- the significance of the Gothic Period(s) and anthropology to our conception of the modern monster
- Theodora's latest novel, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter
- Why the best way to start on the path of a successful novelist is to get your PhD in English literature.
Theodora Goss was born in Hungary and spent her childhood in various European countries before her family moved to the United States. Although she grew up on the classics of English literature, her writing has been influenced by an Eastern European literary tradition in which the boundaries between realism and the fantastic are often ambiguous. Her publications include the short story collection In the Forest of Forgetting (2006); Interfictions (2007), a short story anthology coedited with Delia Sherman; Voices from Fairyland (2008), a poetry anthology with critical essays and a selection of her own poems; The Thorn and the Blossom (2012), a novella in a two-sided accordion format; and the poetry collection Songs for Ophelia (2014). She has been a finalist for the Nebula, Locus, Crawford, Seiun, and Mythopoeic Awards, as well as on the Tiptree Award Honor List. Her short story “Singing of Mount Abora” won the World Fantasy Award. You can follow her on Twitter @theodoragoss
