  • Connie Willis, June 2019
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Connie Willis, June 2019 Connie Willis has won eleven Hugo Awards and seven Nebula Awards more major awards than any other writer—most recently the "Best Novel" Hugo and Nebula Awards for Blackout/All Clear (2010). She was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Science Fiction Writers of America named her its 28th SFWA Grand Master in 2011. Wow! So many questions! I’m not sure I can answer all of them, but here goes. 1. Why writing? I don’t think any writer has a good answer for this. You don’t pick it--it picks you. I’ve loved books since I first discovered them--the first one I remember began, "There’s a cat in a hat in a ball in the hall," and I instantly knew, like Rudyard Kipling, that books held in them everything that would make me happy. When I learned to read, I saw that this was true, and I gobbled up LITTLE WOMEN and Gene Stratton Porter’s A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST and L. Frank Baum’s WIZARD OF OZ books and everything else I could get my hands on, which mostly meant the books at the public library, though the girl across the street loaned me Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A LITTLE PRINCESS and my great aunt left me Grace Livingston Hill’s THE WHITE FLOWER and one of my mother’s friends loaned me Valentine Davies’ A MIRACLE ON THIRTY-FOURTH STREET. Many of the books I read were had writers as characters--Jo March and Anne of Green Gables and Betsy of the BETSY, TACY, AND TIB books--and I wanted to be exactly like them, which to me meant not only writing books, but wearing long dresses, sitting in a garret reading and eating russet apples, and tying my hand-written manuscripts up with red ribbons.

  • Lois Mcmaster Bujold June 2018
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Lois McMaster Bujold June 2018 It's been over 30 years since the epic, bestselling Vorkosigan Saga launched with “Shards of Honor,” and author Lois McMaster Bujold continues to mine new depths for the characters and settings in her rich science fiction universe. Set approximately 1,000 years in the future in a system of fictional planets (and occasionally on Earth), the series follows Miles Vorkosigan, a man as gifted in military tactics and interplanetary politics as he is at stumbling into trouble. Beyond the Vorkosigan Saga, Bujold has written books in the Chalion series and The Sharing Knife series. Known for her wit, warmth, and operatic, action-packed plots, Bujold has won the Hugo Award for Best Novel four times, the Hugo Award for Best Novella, and three Nebula Awards. Jo Zebedee: How integral are the short works to the Vorkosigan universe? LMB: As integral as any of the novels, in my opinion. (Well, maybe excepting “Weatherman”, which is an out-take from the novel The Vor Game, and thus double-dipping.) The reader may pick up three of the (currently) six in one package in the collection Borders of Infinity; the other two are still ala carte. Michael Rowe: Did you have an expectation on how we would view the Cetaganda Nobles and the Vor? (One more agreeable one less so?) LMB: The Vor are an ordinary sort of aristocracy, so that will depend on how one feels about aristocracies. The Cetagandans have a two-tier system, of which the upper level, the haut, turn out to be an ongoing genetics project aiming at creating post-humans.

  • Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Christopher Cokinos (March 2020) Christopher Cokinos Is a Nonfiction Writer, Poet and C
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Christopher Cokinos (March 2020) Christopher Cokinos is a nonfiction writer, poet and critic who teaches, among other things, the history of science fiction for the University of Arizona, where he is an associate professor of English. He's published critical work on Ray Bradbury, Clifford Simak and science-fiction film. Jim McClanahan: Both Clifford Simak and John Scalzi had newspaper careers (Scalzi in my own local rag, The Fresno Bee). Do you see any literary style similarities between the two as a result of their career arcs even though there is a pretty significant time difference? Chris: I don’t know Scalzi’s work, I am chagrined to say. I know the name. I am often overwhelmed (in a good way) by how much there is to read. I tend to read older authors. I returned to reading science fiction in my 40s after reading, oh, the usual suspects in childhood. I tutored myself with Brian Aldiss’s history, Trillion-Year Spree, and the SFWA Hall of Fame anthologies. So I got pretty interested in how science fiction became more lyrical in the 1950s and more experimental in the 1960s. That span remains my favorite era. So there are a lot of contemporary writers I’ve just not had time to read, though I’ll give a shout-out to Kim Stanley Robinson, who is my favorite living author. Richard Whyte: Do you think Simak’s writing changed after he retired from his ‘day job’ at the Minneapolis Star and Tribune? Chris: You know, that is an interesting question.

The People, a group of human-appearing aliens, escaped the destruction of their home world only to be shipwrecked on Earth, where they struggled to hide their extra abilities. During the same period, Henderson published an equal number of non-People stories. Like the stories of The People, they range from comforting to unnerving. Fans of The People will recognize the same underlying belief in the goodness of people and other beings as they struggle for a chance at a better future. Zenna Henderson Zenna Chlarson Henderson (1917–1983) was born in Tucson, Arizona. Although she became a teacher because the nearest state school was a teacher’s college, Hender- son later stated she’d rather earn her living teaching first grade than any other way. She would make time to write before school and at the end of the day. All her writing exhibits a warmth, gentleness and a sense of the worth of human and non-human beings.
