Convention season is upon us and, on the eve of his birthday, Gary K. Wolfe has ventured out into aligator-infested Florida in search of conversation, con-buddies and, above all else, boat drinks! In the first of what might just be a series of one podcasts, Gary invited
Locus Publications editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi, editor and critic
Karen Burnham, and award winning author
Jeffrey Ford (visiting from the wilds of New Jersey) to sit down and join us in a fairly impromptu and rambling podcast.
Starting without an agenda (or in truth and kind of plan at all) we discuss science fiction criticism and the search for the modern essay, the digital age, Locus online, awards seasons, Reza Negarestani's
Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials,
The Secret Life of Laird Barron, and the forthcoming
Key West Literary Seminar (it's about the literature of the future this time out).
As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!
