Domestic Fantasy (WisCon 31 panel)
Reading SF&F•607• Sunday, 1:00-2:15 p.m.
Many people equate fantasy with epic quest narratives, but there are also certainly well-known works of fantasy -- Crowley's Little, Big for instance -- centered on home and the family. Ghost stories, which nearly always concern family relationships and secrets, are probably the most obvious subgenre in this category; what others can we think of? Who's writing domestic fantasy, and how does the fantastic allow writers to address domestic concerns in ways that realism wouldn't? (Susan Palwick)
