Q&A with Patrice Fitzgerald

What do you like best about your story, “Animal Planet”?

I think it's cool to have someone other than the typical young person get the urge to wander in space, because being inquisitive—and even daring—is not a matter of age but of who you are as an individual. This story is all about fear of the other, which is something humans feel deep in their bones.

Is this similar to most of what you write?

I think my stories are often about the search for connection. Many of them are also funny. This one has a little bit of humor, but it's more serious than a lot of the short stories I've written recently. One of my favorite parts of writing is the chance to explore a lot of different feelings, from the mundane to the ridiculous, and live them out in an imaginary scenario.
