Bill Schermbrucker (Show #24) interviews Kristjana Gunnars at her home in B.C. About her five books of prose, he says: "all ... are short, intense, meditative. They are passionate fictional memoirs based on events in her own life." Gunnars -- who describes her work as "cross-genre fiction, poetry, essays," -- said in this interview, "Every year we have difficult times, and some writing helps us get through them."

The Prowler (1989), Zero Hour (1991), The Substance of Forgetting (1992), The Rose Garden: Reading Marcel Proust (1996), and Night Train to Nykobing (1998), the books discussed in this interview, are all published by Red Deer Press.
