Kate Folk and Sharon Horgan: ‘Out There’
Kate Folk's debut collection of short stories,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/out-there-stories-kate-folk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Out There</em></a>, combines science fiction, horror and psychological realism to explore the Kafkaesque precarities of social media and late capitalism: a house viscerally consumes its tenants, a curtain of void envelops the world, an army of AI chatbots is unleashed on the dating apps of San Francisco. Folk read from the book and was in conversation with Sharon Horgan, creator and star of the much-loved Channel 4 series&nbsp;<em>Pulling</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Catastrophe</em>, who is working with Folk on adapting the collection's title story for television.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
