Science Fiction as Emotional Metaphor: Writing a Novel as a Way of Thinking
In this conversation, Tony is joined by Albertine Clarke, whose first novel, The Body Builders, is being published by Bloomsbury Press in February 2026. In addition to exploring the mind-bendingly original novel itself, Albertine and Tony discuss what makes the science fiction genre so special and unique; how reading and writing go hand-in-hand; tips on overcoming challenges of writing a massive project over months and years; and why writing fiction and receiving feedback is just so darn personal. Clarke is graduating from the University of Florida’s MFA program in Spring 2025.
