Episode 28 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy features an interview with Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of the middle grade fantasy novel Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror, about a school where monsters are taught to suppress their true natures. Jenny is also the author of She’s Not There, one of the first bestselling memoirs by a transgendered American. She’s appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, and The Today Show, been lampooned on Saturday Night Live, and appeared (as herself) on All My Children. She also teaches English and Creative Writing at Colby College, where she was named “Professor of the Year” in 2000, and where I was lucky enough to study with her. Then stick around after the interview as John and I discuss the role of monsters in fantasy & science fiction.
