This week, we are reframing fiction as truth-telling with novelist,
playwright, and clothing line creator Claudia Dey. You’ll hear our
conversation filled with so many truths born of fiction, creating
constraints to create, and the companionship of language. We talk about
Claudia’s newest novel Daughter, and Hamlet, and theatre school memories of Claudia’s play Trout Stanley.
We also get into how we can’t waver from value systems in terms of what
we put out in the world. For Claudia, that shows up in her books and
her clothing brand. For us here, it’s tied to who we bring on the show.
Claudia Dey is a bestselling novelist, playwright, and essayist based in Toronto. She has written the novels Stunt, Heartbreaker, and Daughter, as well as the plays Beaver, The Gwendolyn Poems, and Trout Stanley.
Other writing of hers has appeared in The Paris Review, The Believer,
Toro, and The Globe and Mail. Claudia is also the co-founder of the
clothing line Horses Atelier.
