Kij Johnson, whose birth name is Katherine Irenae Johnson, is an American woman of letters; apparently, the name Kij is a truncation of the said birth name. Johnson, who was born in January 1960 in Harlan upon Iowa, is a quinquagenarian. For her undergraduate education, Kij Johnson went to St. Olaf College, which is a Minnesota-based paracollege, in the early 1980s wherein she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree; by then, her studies centered on the history and culture of England, especially during the 11th century. Thereafter, she went to the University of Minnesota wherein she pursued creative writing and literature. For her Masters of Fine Arts (Creative Writing), she went to North Carolina State University wherein she graduated in 2012.

Kij Johnson, who is currently a Kansas resident, has worked in many different industries over the years. As such, she has had various occupations. She has been a managing editor, educator, creative director, researcher at Microsoft, waitress, radio engineer, radio presenter, and bookstore proprietor. Kij Johnson, who serves as an Assistant Professor at University of Kansas, co-wrote a section of the highly-acclaimed Star Trek.

Kij Johnson, who has a laundry list of series of books, novels, omnibuses, tens of short stories, novellas, and collections under her belt, specializes especially in the science fiction and fantasy genres. Johnson has co-written literary works with science fiction and fantasy authors Robert Reed, Carolyn Ives Gilman, Allen Steele, Ken Liu, and Mary Robinette Kowal among many others.

Kij Johnson debuted at the turn of the millennium. There are about five editions of the debut novel and the first edition was originally published in 2000, titled The Fox Woman. Incidentally, the said book is the first entry in the Love/War/Death series, which is a duology; this book series is shelved under the fantasy (particularly historical fantasy), historical fiction, cultural, and romance genres.

There are three featured central characters in Kij Johnson’s 2000 book The Fox Woman. There is a man named Yoshifuji, a small fox named Kitsune, and Shikujo who is Yoshifuji’s spouse. Meet the aforementioned protagonists. Yoshifuji is a nobleman. He is gloomy, dejected, and melancholy. Yoshifuji’s life has lost its allure. Kitsune, which is a fox, is egocentric and mesmerized by people, especially Yoshifuji. Lastly, Shikujo, is a faultless woman and archetype of Japanese wives during the 10 century.

The turning point in the first book in the Love/War/Death series, The Fox Woman, is when Yoshifuji is rendered jobless in corporate Japan, prompting him to return to his upcountry home wherein foxes have since taken over following his hitherto absence. This triggers Yoshifuji’s obsession with the feral creatures; Kitsune the fox has a soft spot for too. Shikujo, who loves him madly but is somewhat chagrined by him, is interested in the foxes too, albeit cautious about it. Using magic, author Kij Johnson wittily interweaves the three protagonists’ lives, a pointer to its literary merit.
