Meg’s best friend Indra is a mycologist whose dissertation research focused on the psilocybin mushroom. Magic? Surely not! Her husband, Seth, is a science fiction writer, wrestling with questions of time as his own fictional characters, the Timecrypters, shuttle from past to future and back again. Meg Fitzellen is a troubled but dedicated archaeologist, firmly committed to science but pursued by things she can’t explain. I love my characters in my new book, NOT KNOWING. I am both a writer and an anthropologist, and creating characters I’d like to know in real life is one of the great pleasures of writing. “Writers are even worse than anthropologists when it comes to taking notes on human behavior,” Meg thinks, as she watches Seth surreptitiously photographing people and making notes on his phone as they travel on an overcrowded bus from Belmopan to Belize City.
