Fantastical storytelling is at its most potent when it's anchored to reality. Lauren Beukes talks about why she writes strange and twisty fiction from novels to comics to TV shows and how storytelling that re-imagines where we are has the ability to tell us more about who we are.

Audience Responses

I really enjoyed it. It was like a book launch without a time constraint so it allowed Lauren to talk more about the aspects of writing that you wouldn't normally cover in a launch. Fascinating and enjoyable.
