Description
Why does science fiction not get the respect it deserves...from literary fiction?
It’s the East coast vs West cost gangster rap rivalry but fiction writers (except without the drive-by shootings…that I know of?) An ancient feud between the Realists and the Fantasists.
But beneath the surface of the LitFic vs SciFi argument is a more serious issue, about the power of storytelling, and the duty of storytellers.
Are we just the people paid to cast shadows for your entertainment, or is it the storyteller’s job to lead you out of the cave?
