Karen Joy Fowler - We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves SPOILER!

Radio Gorgeous

From the author of the wonderful The Jane Austen Book Club (with a plural narrator - how cool is that?) is We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. Karen Joy Fowler's peers were also beside themselves and awarded her the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Aside from the fun of saying the title is the nothing short of amazing read. The story of Rosemary and her missing siblings is told in a fresh and astonishing voice. We can't reveal the plot (or can we?) but rest assured that Donna keep going on and on and on about how it was the best book of the year, etc. until we were holding our heads and rocking back and forth and begging her to stop. There is a magical plot twist that occurs on page 77 and because we don't want to ruin the surprise we have provided a SPOILER FREE edition. However, for those of you who would turn to page 77 anyway, we provide the SPOILER version. You could always listen again after reading the book!

Exciting news: starting next week we will have 4 interviews each week and they will be up on our website at 6am each morning Monday through Thursday. Fear not, if you, like Donna, are not an early riser, you can wait for the Thursday mail shot with links to the whole show as per usual. #author #fiction #women
