Like Dylan, you were born in your father’s homeland of Guyana before being raised in Australia with your white mother. However, Dylan’s ability to experience other people’s memories is an attempt to add a magic realist element to the character, something that elevates Dylan beyond my own experiences. I wanted to make clear that difference is often imposed with judgement upon people, who become unfairly ‘othered’. In creating her distinct connection with the world, I drew on personal relationships I have had with people who have unique and complex relationships with themselves and the world. Though there are references to her being bullied by others who see her as cognitively different, I was careful not to pathologise Dylan. Her voice is drawn from my own memories of growing up in Australia as a mixed-race child and feeling misunderstood or being marginalised because of my skin colour, but also my family dynamic. What prompted you to write such a character? Did you draw upon real people to do so, or is she a work of pure fiction?ĭylan is an amalgam of a number of different people I have known and experiences that I have had throughout my life. She spoke to the author.ĭylan, the protagonist of Metal Fish, Falling Snow, sees the world in a very unique way, which often leaves her vulnerable and misunderstood.
