Kay Kenyon: No Apologies

Tuesday 30 June 2009  |  Magazine

kay kenyon
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's June Issue interview.
Science fiction is always apologizing for itself. We have to stop that. Like Janis Ian said, SF is the jazz of literature. It takes delight in its topics and its narratives, and when we start talking about it having a purpose, it's like apologizing.

Robert Charles Wilson: The Cosmic and the Intimate

Wednesday 24 June 2009  |  Magazine

robert charles wilson
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's June Issue interview.
It can be hard to address scientific or cosmological questions in a way that speaks to people who aren't immersed in science fiction or in the sciences. But that's a problem every writer has: who are you talking to? Who's your audience? The nice thing about the science fiction genre is we have an expansive space in which all these things can coexist.

Wednesday 24 June 2009  |  Reviews; Magazine

julian comstock
From Locus Magazine's May Issue, a review of Julian Comstock
A fascinating example of SF's ongoing negotiations with ideas of history and identity, and a good deal more complex than its faux-naif narrative voice and boys'-book adventure plotting would seem to suggest...

"A Moon for the (Technologically) Misbegotten": A Review of Moon

Sunday 14 June 2009  |  Reviews

moon
I wish I could offer a more enthusiastic assessment of the film; however, Moon is, to a large extent, a film that rather quickly moves into quite familiar, even derivative, territory, at least to anyone familiar with science fiction films.

Marjorie Liu: Hopeless Romantic

Tuesday 2 June 2009  |  Magazine

marjorie liu
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's May Issue interview.
On the science fiction/fantasy side of things, I've found that many readers, no offense, have a more deeply ingrained resistance toward reading outside genre. Romance novels, in particular.

Patricia Briggs: Mercy and Faith

Friday 29 May 2009  |  Magazine

patricia briggs
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's May Issue interview.
You could take the romance out of any of my books and still have a book, with a plot and characters and things, but if you took magic out the book would fall apart. That's the big difference between the paranormal romance and urban fantasy.

kim harrison
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's May Issue interview.
One of the best things about having a different persona is that it helps separate the fantasy from the reality.

Locus HQ: The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

Wed 17 Jun

I don't get to reread much anymore. But every once in a while, a reprint crosses my desk that I can't resist. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Gollancz) which I read in 1966 when it came out and probably reread in the '70s when I still had time, was one. Heinlein's reputation, since his d...
