Nominated for the Pen/Faulkner award and the author of five novels, including The Jane Austin Book Club, which was brought to life on the big screen in 2007, Karen Joy Fowler continually pleases her fans with captivating stories and surprising characters.
Her latest novel, Wit’s End, merges reality with our blog-laden version of reality just as it does mystery with literary fiction. “What strikes one first is the voice: robust, sly, witty, elegant, unexpected and never boring,” writes Margot Livesey in the The New York Times Book Review. “Here is a novelist who absolutely comprehends the pleasures of imagination and transformation.”
Fowler’s intriguing view of modern life allows us a glimpse into the writer’s creative world while subtly drawing parallels with our own ability, via the internet, to draw out our own conclusions—to concoct, or simplybelieve, whatever reality we find most convenient.
