Charlie Jane Anders: Lessons in Magic and Disaster
In conversation with Luke Bateman
5–6pm, Saturday 10 October, Parkside Marquee
Award-winning US writer Charlie Jane Anders is a spec-fic superstar: for decades, she’s been crafting mesmerisingly imaginative and resonant fiction that tackles themes of queer and trans identity, life’s absurdity, and hope in the midst of crisis. Her captivating new novel, Lessons in Magic and Disaster, is a perfect potion of queer resilience and witchy power, following a trans PhD student named Jamie who’s trying to help her mother overcome a devastating loss.
