Episode 233: Jenny Rowe

Eating the Fantastic

Join Jenny Rowe (and James Tiptree, Jr.) at the Glasgow Worldcon bar as we discuss the serendipitous way the former learned about the latter, the differing reactions to her one-woman show from SF vs. non-SF audiences, how she managed to nail Tiptree's accent (some of which you'll get to hear), why she ultimately decided not to begin or end the show with a gunshot, how she settled on the structure of her script (and why she decided to leave herself out of the story), the way inhabiting Tiptree affected her feelings about the controversy, why she'd have loved to meet Tiptree but not necessarily want to be her friend, the purpose of the play's moment of audience participation, and much more.
