Author Katharine Duckett talks about her new novella Miranda In Milan, which explores what happens when Prospero's daughter from The Tempest returns with her father to Milan after the events in Shakespeare's play. Katharine talks about her influences; how she draws on not only Shakespeare but Mary Shelley; how the novel came out of her reading of the play and found its eventual form; dominant storytelling forms; investigating the unresolved tension of the play; her shared Shakespearean instincts; pronunciation controversies; and her own origins story as a writer. (Length 15:45)
