Small Pleasures podcast: In the latest episode, Livi Michael and Sonya Moor look at two marvels of short fiction – Sarah Hall’s ‘Mrs Fox’ and Jackie Kay’s ‘My Daughter the Fox’. Hall and Kay use elements of realism to ask outrageous questions: What happens when a man’s wife becomes a fox? Or when a woman gives birth to a fox cub? By setting the wild figure of a fox in domestic spaces, Hall and Kay raise unsettling questions about what it means to be a mother, for a man to love his wife – and our fraught relationship with the natural world.
