Throughout the summer we've been taking a look into the world of 'genre fiction' – the women who read it and the women who write it. In the latest of this series, we're going to discuss science fiction. Seen by some as 'a genre for men,' there are lots of women authors and readers who think otherwise. Bafta-nominated screenwriter and playwright, Moira Buffini, who's written The Dig and TV series Harlots, joins Nuala to discuss her debut science fiction novel, Songlight. Larissa Lai, science fiction novelist and professor at University of Toronto, with two novels shortlisted by the Otherwise Award joins Nuala to discuss the genre.Say She She is a female-led band based out of Brooklyn, New York led by Piya Malik Sabrina Mileo Cunningham, and Nya Gazelle Brown.

They are now in the UK to perform at Camp Bestival and All Points East. They join Nuala McGovern to discuss their music, their influences, and the issues that inspire their tracks.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Laura Northedge

Admit this, all of you. I laugh too loud, can't hold my brownie properly in polite company and am apt to call shit “shit.” I can't be trusted to be loyal to my class. In fact, the very clever among the elite know that I am opposed to the very existence of an elite among us. For me, the struggle for self- determination will end with the dissolution of this elite and the levelling of the CanAmerican class structure or it will continue—for a thousand years if need be.You have acquired your knowledge, friends, through the spoils of a colonial system which intends to use you to oppress my poor country-cousins. I owe no apology for refusing to go along with that.At the end of each year, we like to read a book by an author who passed that year, and in 2021, we lost someone very close to the show: Lee Maracle, whose book Memory Serves we talked about in a previous episode, and who joined us in a bonus episode about Great Expectations. We chose to read her book I Am Woman, a collection of essays (interwoven with memoir, story, and poetry) subtitled “A Native Perspective on Sociology and Feminism”. And, in addition to responding to the specific issues that the book brings to the forefront, and appreciating Maracle's craft in putting these issues on the page, Suzanne and Chris think together about how it feels to read and talk about a text that might not be addressed to you at all.SHOW NOTES.Lee Maracle: I Am Woman.

Library of Babble is our new sci-fi and fantasy book club! For the first episode, we discuss Frank Herbert's 1965 classic Dune, as well as David Lynch and Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations. We talk about the novel's world-building, especially how it treats ecology (desert power!) and religion; the novel as both anti-imperialist and orientalist; its deconstruction of the white messiah; its roots in Herbert's conservatism; and much more! As far as the films go, we debate the merits of Timothée Chalamee's acting, marvel over Villeneuve's landscapes (while wondering if he wouldn't prefer to get rid of the characters altogether), and the impossible expectations set by the book for film adaptations. Our next book for Library of Babble is Larissa Lai's The Tiger Flu, which we will be discussing in late January!

Larissa Lai joins Paul to talk about a host of topics from colonialism in contemporary China to the haibun form, the Tao Te Ching, and her new book, Iron Goddess of Mercy.

Hosted by Al Filreis and featuring Larissa Lai, Maxe Crandall, and Julia Bloch.

“Inequality is not created equal,” the civil rights activist and scholar Kimberley Crenshaw once said. Experiences of racial inequality intersect at gender, class, and sexuality; and as such, these identity markers do not exist independently of each other, but rather inform each other. This intergenerational and multigenre panel of writers will share their insights and experiences of how their personal journeys as writers have influenced their craft and provided meaning on how and why they tell their stories.Grace Eiko Thomson, Larissa Lai, & Sarah SukModerated by Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra
