In the final episode of Unfolded for this season, Claire G. Coleman takes us into the workings of her story, Ancestral Memory / As Slippery as an Eel.

We talk about how she finds inspiration in all kinds of mediums (especially music), how writing speculative fiction allows her to speak about the real world, and the importance of Ancient Knowledges and stories being told, without being exploited.

A gardener seeks solace in the earth. A pig hunt doubles as a first date. A young mother wrestles with what’s possible. A man is bitten by a fox. A table speaks. A navigator finds her destiny amongst the stars. 

We’ve all read stories that changed our lives. We’ve all imagined places that feel like home. We’ve all met characters who feel like family.

Now, we’ll hear the stories, then go to the source. We’ll speak with the authors, to find out what makes a story great, where they come from, and why they connect.

These are stories: Unpacked. Understood. Unfolded.

Join us for season 1 of Unfolded as Seth Robinson and Tony Birch speak with authors Chris Flynn, Claire G. Coleman, Frankey Chung-Kok-Lun, Miriam Webster, Paige Clark, and Laura Jean McKay.

Unfolded

A gardener seeks solace in the earth. A pig hunt doubles as a first date. A young mother wrestles with what’s possible. A fox bite changes a life. A table speaks. A navigator reckons with the gift, and burden, of ancient knowledge.
