#1 Flower Phantoms by Ronald Fraser
from Sherds Podcast Hosted by Sam Pulham
In this episode, we discuss Ronald Fraser's 'Flower Phantoms' (1926), an obscure fantasy in which Judy, a student of botanical sciences, engages in a psycho-sexual communion with the soul of an orchid in Kew Gardens. We were beguiled by this strange, orchidaceous novella. Over the course of the programme, we consider Fraser's at once fascinating and problematic treatment of female sexuality, his preoccupation with epistemological questions, and his meditations on the creative act itself
