The Bodhisattva

Some stuff that caught my eye:\par
\par
\par
\par
- Jeff Vandermeer interviewed at SF.GR, where Jeff among other things Jeff says, “I think readers and reviewers should think of books as three-dimensional creatures that breathe and shit and are in all ways organic.” Jeff has also added to the great books that he is selling!\par
\par
- New Guy Gavriel Kay book news! Entitled Ysabel. Read the introducton, and read the prologue.\par
\par
- Torque Control, a new blog by Geneva Melzack and Niall Harrison co-editors of Vector.\par
\par
- Michael Chabon’s refridgerator doesn’t have a bunch of crap stuck to it.\par
\par
- Elizabeth Bear on the constant reducation of a writer.\par
\par
- Okay so Carol Berg, Constance Ash, Kate Elliott, Katharine Kerr and Lois Tilton started a group blog and something called Deep Gene.\par
\par

Deep genre is innovative, imaginative, original fiction organized around an individual vision.

\par
Isn’t that just good fiction? \par
\par

\par
- Orson Scott Card interviewed at Roanoke.com.\par

\par

- I’m really digging the Sidewise Award nominees, Ian R. Macleod’s Summer Isle and Paul Park’s A Princess of Roumania (which I reviewed here, and I also interviewed Park last year) were two of the 2005’s most enjoyable reads for me.\par
