Ep. 116 - Lorraine Wilson talks about the distinction between literary and commercial fiction and whether it matters, the importance of setting and more!
Lorraine Wilson is the author of the BFS and Kavya-nominated speculative fantasy novel, This is Our Undoing. She has also written short fiction (also award-shortlisted!) and her latest novel, The Way The Light Bends is just out.
We had a fascinating chat with Lorraine, hearing about her previous life as a field scientist (including catching the bubonic plague!) and why she turned to writing when she had to give that previous career up. We talked about the importance of setting, and had a good moan about the old “literary v commercial” distinction that is made in some quarters!
