UWRF19 Podcast | Is All Contemporary Fiction Speculative Fiction?

Speculative fiction has lurked in the shadows of the literary scene for years while realism hogged the limelight. Now, as the natural and political spheres crumble around us, speculative fiction’s dystopian worlds don’t seem so different from our own. In this timely conversation, our panelists ask whether we’re now at the point where all contemporary fiction is in fact speculative fiction.
Featuring Astrid Edwards, Michelle Tanmizi, Krissy Kneen, Pitchaya Sudbanthad, and Claire G. Coleman.
