Karen Joy Fowler
Fiction

Karen Joy Fowler is the author of several novels and short story collections, including The Jane Austen Book Club, a novel widely
popular with readers and critics alike. Alice Sebold calls the book "a luxuriant pleasure," and Michael Dirda writes in The Washington
Post Book World
, "Karen Joy Fowler creates a novel that is so winning, so touching, so delicately, slyly witty that admirers of
Persuasion and Emma will simply sigh with happiness." Fowler's earlier work is well-known to fans of literary science fiction and
fantasy, and she has won many awards, including a Nebula Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. The Jane Austen Book Club was recently adapted into a major motion picture starring Lynn Redgrave, Maria Bello, and Hugh Dancy.
