'Warner is a modern Renaissance woman, at ease in a multi-disciplinary world
of art, literature, and science.'

continuing need for fairytales?'
Amanda Craig, The Times

Murderers I Have Known - a collection of stories, published by Chatto & Windus

Published in paperback by Vintage, 2004

'When it comes to the territory between commentator and storyteller, Warner is a pretty fluid shapeshifter herself. The stories in Murderers I Have Known... are a kind of warning about the importance of shapeshifting between selves, times, genders, art-forms, material and spiritual worlds. There is a danger, Warner suggests, right now at what she calls "the degenerate moment of the century", of losing this ease of movement altogether. Not that this is a grim read; on the contrary, it is a lightfooted and often funny collection.'
Ali Smith, Guardian
