“A Real Joy to Be Had” Kim Stanley Robinson Interviewed by Terry Bisson
“a Real joy to be haD” Kim Stanley RobinSon inteRVieWeD by teRRy biSSon David Hartwell once said that the Golden Age of Science Fiction is twelve. Was that true for you? What was your first literature? I didn’t know science fction existed until I was eighteen; then I fell in pretty deeply. The frst book I remember reading was Huckleberry Finn, and I still have that copy of the book with me, it has a gorgeous cover depicting Huck and Jim pulling a caught fsh onto the raft, in vibrant colors. For years I pretended to be Huck Finn. My parents subscribed to the Scholastic book of the month club, and I read those when they came in the mail pretty much the day of arrival. I read everything that caught my eye at the library when I was a child, then as a teenager did the same, but became a fan of locked- room detective mysteries, chiefy John Dickson Carr but also Ellery Queen, and all the rest of that crowd from the 1930s. Then just as I was leaving for college I ran into the science fction section at the library, all the books with their rocketship-and-radiation signs on the spine, and that was very exciting. In college I majored in history 78 | Kim Stanley RobinSon and literature, and on the side majored in science fction, absorbing the New Wave pretty much as it happened. Did your parents read to you as a kid? Did anyone? Do you read to your kids? Yes, my mom read to my brother and me at bed- time, and then I read on by myself with a fashlight. -
