Teško štivo, da vas razmrda

Danas vam donosimo nekoliko zanimljivih tekstova o SF-u: povijest SF-a u nastavcima, te dva puta po dvije suprostavljene strane – žanrovska djela nasuprot literarnim djelima te eskapizam nasuprot umjetnosti u fikciji …

Povijest SF-a je objavljena u (za sada) 6 nastavaka – od prapočetaka žanra do pulp SF-a. Nadamo se da će se niz tekstova i nastaviti …

• Prapočeci SF-a
• 19. stoljeće
• Od 1900. do 1909. godine
• Od 1910. do 1919. godine
• Hugo Gernsback
• Pulp SF

Genre vs Literary Works

Now the truly interesting thing is that a speculative writer can write science fiction and it will be looked down the long narrow noses of literary academics and called “genre” (said with nose in the air, as if smelling bad, and with an English accent). But a literary writer can write something that is speculative fiction and it will be praised and lauded and given awards.

Escapism vs art in fiction

A disturbing trend that I’ve noticed in recently published books is to throw non-stop action at you.
As an action junkie, I’m torn about whether to complain about this. Well-written action can keep the pages turning quickly. It can keep me engaged over longer periods of time, but at the end of the novel, I’m left with only the afterglow of the mental adrenaline rush.
