Lecture title: The Future of Fiction:聽 from historical
fiction to digital fiction
Kate Pullinger's novel, The Mistress of Nothing, won the
GG in 2009; it's a historical fiction, set in Egypt in the 1860s,
based on a true story.聽 As well as writing about the past,
Pullinger's work in the realm of digital fiction pushes toward the
future of fiction, using the new technologies to find new ways to
tell stories.聽 Her award-winning projects 'Inanimate Alice'
and 'Flight Paths' demonstrate the potential for a new type of
fiction that moves far beyond ebooks.聽 In this lecture
Pullinger will talk about writing the past as well as writing the
future.
