Episode 67 - Kay Kerr: Writing, Memory, and our Urge to Belong
Manage episode 517802750 series 3395232
On this episode of Late to the Party, I speak with acclaimed author Kay Kerr to explore the intricate connections between writing, memory, and identity. Kay shares her journey as an autistic writer, from her celebrated young adult novels Please Don’t Hug Me and Social Queue to her latest works, including Might Cry Later and contributions to Someone Like Me (for Australia, for International)
We dive deep into topics like:
- How sensory details shape memory and storytelling
- The impact of aphantasia and alexithymia on creativity and self perception
- The intricacies of being part of social groups
- Movement, stimming, and the search for authenticity
- The act of making generational change
This conversation is a thoughtful look at neurodivergence, acceptance, and the ways we create meaning in our lives.
