Audrey Schulman
 
 
The 2019 winner of the Philip K. Dick Award will be speaking to us on the evening of Friday, December 8, 2019.
 
Born a long time ago, in another country, Schulman has traveled enough to have comited on four continents, including once onto a Masai tribesman's feet. He, unfortunately, was barefoot. Schulman has published five novels, including The Cage, Swimming with Jonah, A House Named Brazil, Three Weeks in December and A Theory of Bastards.  Her books have been translated into 11 languges, reviewed by the New Yorker and twice been selected as notable books by the American Library Association.
 
Her books aren't boring.  For a short time, one was even optioned for a movie with Wes Craven (the director of Nightmare on Elm Street).  Articles by Schulman have been anthologized, as well as published in Orion, Grist, Ms. Mabazine, Bust and others.
 
She now lives near Boston with her family and rurns an energy-efficiency nonprofit called HEET.
