SCIENCE FICTION WEEK: Day 5

Madras Press, based outside of Boston, publishes individually bound short stories and novellas, and the proceeds go to charities of the authors’ choosing. They’ve just put out their fourth series, a quartet of stories by Kelly Link (an alltime fave), Gregory Maguire, Kevin Brockmeier, and Hannah Dela Cruz Abrams. It’s a mighty, misfit batch, sharp and strange, sometimes surprising, often sad. I wrote about them for Bookslut. You can read the piece here.

Just ordered the Kelly Link book. Excited!

“Sure, they’re cute now, but in a second they’re gonna get mean, and they’re gonna get ugly somehow, and there’s gonna be a million more of them.”

China Mieville interviews the fearless Ursula K Le Guin.

Favourite interviewing favourite. Subjects including: genre snobbery, peer reviews, gender, writing for playboy, her home town, feminism and the lack/use of POCs in genre fiction.

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.

“In an entertainment world where women are disappearing from multiplexes, where men bulk up as superheroes while women don’t eat but sip pink drinks, we need to remember that there was once a very short heroine who hunted monsters and talked about Einstein, who kicked ass and questioned her faith, who went to work with a man she loved but didn’t rip his shirt off over lunch, who didn’t want to believe, but opened herself nonetheless to possibility. We need Scully back, even for a moment.”

Some Freudians believe the deja vu phenomenon to be repressed memories escaping the unconscious. That it represents a desire to have a second chance to set things right.
