Historical Fiction vs Fictionalized History: The Only Woman in the Room
Manage episode 362438430 series 3453902
This week, we're once again talking about recreating real women! But this time, we're asking the question, when does historical fiction become fictionalized history? We'll be conducting our discussion via The Only Woman in the Room, a book about the incredible life of a Hollywood legend, Hedy Lamarr.
How can we, as readers, responsibly consume historical fiction? What do authors of historical fiction owe to their real-life inspirations? What do they owe to us, their audience? And what do I mean by fictionalized history, anyway?
