About this ebook
The basics of a good interview may be summed up in the following sentence: find someone interesting and articulate, ask just enough questions to get them talking, then point the microphone, shut up, and, oh, by the way, make sure your equipment works. So says Darrell Schweitzer, the editor of this fascinating volume of contemporary interviews with seventeen science fiction writers. Included are scintillating conversations with: George R. R. Martin, James Morrow, Jack Dann, Geoffrey A. Landis, Joe W. Haldeman, Zoran Zivkovic, Esther M. Friesner, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Harry Turtledove, Gregory Frost, Tom Purdom, D. G. Compton, Robert J. Sawyer, Charles Stross, Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, and Howard Waldrop.
