  • Joe Haldeman (April 2020)
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Joe Haldeman (April 2020) Haldeman is best known for The Forever War (1974). That novel, and other of his works, including The Hemingway Hoax (1991) and Forever Peace (1997), have won major science fiction awards, including the Hugo Award and Nebula Award. He was awarded the SFWA Grand Master for career achievements. In 2012 he was inducted as a member of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Leon Coombs: Which stories (by other authors) do you wish you’d written? My first reaction to this was "What a curious question!" But I guess the more useful answer is another question . "Why would somebody wish to have written somebody else's story?" There's a whole book there, of course. Perhaps I wish I had written Dhalgren, by Samuel R. Delany. Or "Ivy Day in the Committee Room,” by James Joyce. I would love to have written Moby Dick, but I should live so long! Thomas Watson: There are many ways to express yourself creatively. How did writing come to be yours? If I go back far enough, I think it would have been cartooning . that's what I loved when I was a little boy, and perhaps I would have been an artist if I'd had the mechanical talent, and early success at it. Instead, I had immediate success writing fiction and poetry, so I followed that inclination. (I also loved science, enough to immerse myself in it through college years. But no special talent, and no early reinforcement.) Erik Wilkenfeldt: Have you ever wondered about the consequences of what you have written, and how you may have influenced your readers? Rarely enough, to confess the plain truth.

Nur die Geschichte des Initiators des 1965 gegründeten Schriftstellerverbandes Science Fiction Writers of America SFWA wurde nicht in deutscher Übersetzung gefunden. Die Geschichten kennzeichnen das Qualitätsverständnis der SFWA. Dieses Verständnis von professioneller Qualität wird durch Platzierung der Geschichten in weiteren Anthologien bestätigt. Es setzte sich innerhalb des SFWA bis heute durch die Vergabe des Nebula Award fort. Der erste Herausgeber Robert Silverberg vertieft alsbald grundsätzliche Kritik am Genre, sonst bisher besonders vertreten durch Samuel Delany und Barry N. Malzberg, weitere folgen. Es zeigt sich nebenbei ein loses Subgenre von Science Fiction der Science Fiction, teils mit Selbstanwendungen gewohnter Metaphern, das die Nerven des Genres bloßlegt.
