'I first heard of Jen Craig when she was interviewed by Michael Silverblatt on his KCRW radio program Bookworm. Her novel Panthers and the Museum of Fire had found publication with the American publisher Zerogram Press. There was some talk of the influence of Thomas Bernhard and WG Sebald, the difficulty of making a sentence and spinning a clay vessel on a wheel—a shared problem of concentration and balance. When I tried to find her book here, I could not—but now Panthers, alongside the slim 2010 volume Since the Accident, have been reissued with Puncher & Wattmann, who have also published her third book Wall.'
