Jeff VanderMeer is the author of sixteen books, a wide range of short stories, as well as the co-editor of multiple anthologies. He is widely regarded as a leader in the "New Weird" movement, and his best-selling novels, such as Hummingbird Salamander and the Southern Reach Series have helped open new directions in contemporary science fiction. His novel Annihilation was turned into a 2018 film directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman. Jeff VanderMeer joins us (with Dr. Kelly McKisson as co-host) to talk about the role of fiction in reimagining our real environment, and how the Gulf Coast has shaped his writing. His latest book, Absolution, is on shelves now.
