Karen Joy Fowler è una autrice altamente plaudita, nota soprattutto per i suoi romanzi e raccolte di racconti diventati bestseller del New York Times. Ha scritto sette romanzi e tre raccolte di racconti, tra cui "The Jane Austen Book Club", "Sister Noon" ed "Sarah Canary". Il debutto di Fowler nel mondo dei romanzi, "Sarah Canary", è stato ampiamente riconosciuto, vincendo la medaglia Commonwealth per il miglior primo romanzo di un californiano e venendo selezionato per diversi altri premi prestigiosi.
Anche le raccolte di racconti di Fowler hanno ricevuto importanti riconoscimenti critici. "Black Glass" ha vinto il World Fantasy Award nel 1999, e "What I Didn't See" ha vinto il World Fantasy Award nel 2011. Lo stile di scrittura di Fowler è stato descritto come immaginativo, coinvolgente e stimolante, con una capacità di mescolare elementi di realismo e fantasia per creare narrazioni uniche e avvincenti.
Oltre al suo lavoro di scrittrice, Fowler è anche una appassionata sostenitrice degli animali. Supporta un scimpanzé di nome Caesar che vive al Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. Fowler è inoltre co-fondatrice del Otherwise Award e presidente della Clarion Foundation (nota anche come Clarion San Diego). Vive a Santa Cruz, in California, con il marito, e hanno due figli adulti e sette nipoti.
L'ultimo romanzo di Fowler, "We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves", ha vinto il PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction nel 2014 ed è stato short-listed per il Man Booker Prize nello stesso anno. Il suo nuovo romanzo "Booth" è stato pubblicato a marzo 2022. Nel corso della sua carriera, Fowler ha continuamente prodotto opere di alta qualità che sono state celebrate dalla critica e dai lettori. Le sue contribuzioni al mondo letterario e il suo impegno per la tutela degli animali l'hanno resa una figura rispettata e ammirata in entrambi i campi.
