Intervjui: MORGAN, VARLEY, DOCTOROW

Ovogodišnji SFeraKonski GoH Richard K. Morgan priča o svom najnovijem romanu “The Steel Remains”, koji je ujedno i njegov prvi fantasy roman. John Varley priča o svojim idejama i kako je pisanje SF-a jedino što zna raditi. Cory Doctorow, pak, priča o stvarima koje njega muče – zakonima o copyrightu, internet publishingu i tome slično … Plus još neki linkovi …

Well, I’ve always quite liked good old traditional hack-and-slay fantasy, and the mythological sources it draws upon. As a teenager, I read an awful lot of Moorcock’s Eternal Champion stuff, some Karl Edward Wagner and a couple of seminal fantasy novels by Poul Anderson, most notably the very brilliant The Broken Sword. And that’s without mentioning the huge amounts of Norse, Greek, Roman, Slavic, you name it mythology I was reading as well. So, in some senses I’ve always had a vague hankering to write something along those lines.

Varleyjev najnoviji roman se zove “Red Thunder”, a iz intervjua, kojeg možete pročitati ovdje, saznajemo kako trenutno radi na romanu postapokalipse. Recenziju romana “Red Thunder” možete škicnuti ovdje.

Born and raised in Texas, got out as soon as I could, right after high school. National Merit Scholarship to Michigan State, dropped out, went on the road, became a hippie, did a lot of drugs, stopped doing a lot of drugs. Went to Woodstock accidentally. Lived in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, started writing. Been doing the same ever since.

Najnoviji roman Coryja Doctorowa je “Little Brother”, SF roman za mlade. Što o njegovom romanu misli Neil Gaiman, pročitajte ovdje, a intervju je tute.

In young-adult fiction, one of the things that lured me into trying it is there’s a consequentiality that isn’t present in writing for the adult audience. Adults primarily read for entertainment but young adults read partly for finding out how the world works. They’re not only willing to listen closely to what you have to say but they’re also willing to push back when they don’t agree, and you can have some very challenging discussions, especially when it comes to subjects as politically charged as the ones in “Little Brother.”
