Being Gardner Dozois
by Michael Swanwick and Gardner Dozois
| "Being Gardener Dozois... provides fascinating
and amusing insights into Dozois's award-winning short
fiction" |
| – Publishers Weekly |
|
Michael Swanwick takes an in-depth critical look at the fiction
of an author whose editing career has overshadowed his thoughtful,
interesting writing. In this fascinating interview, Dozois
reveals his reasonings and obsessions. Why so many of
his stories were collaborations. Where he wrote his most
famous works. How he and Jack Dann and Michael Swanwick
became the Fiction Factory — a small group of science fiction
writers in the 70s and 80s who primarily sold to the slicks,
because the SF magazine editors of the time weren't looking
at their type of fiction. Who really invented The Killer
Clowns From Outer Space. And much more. Critical
commentary, history, biography, Being Gardner Dozois
is Michael Swanwick's bravura homage to a friend that goes beyond
the norm, and engages the reader in a document that every serious
fan of the genre must have. Cover art by Omar Rayyan.
