Description
Behind the Scenes of Science Fiction and Fantasy
Science fiction and fantasy come to life in this two-volume collection of interviews with authors, artists, movie critics, editors, and others in the field. Originally broadcast on a nationally syndicated radio show, the interviews have since been transcribed, compiled, and supplemented with additional material written by the authors.
Providing an extensive, in-depth look at this significant genre, THE SOUND OF WONDER reveals the value of science fiction/fantasy as futurist literature. The nature of the field requires creative, intelligent writers who work on and beyond the cutting edge of technology. Authors interviewed in these volumes reveal their commitment to the field, their characteristic themes, the sources of their ideas, and their methods of writing.
Volume 2 includes interviews with:
Piers Anthony
Edward Bryant
Philip José Farmer
Donald A. Wollheim
James P. Hogan
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Roger Ebert
Gene Wolfe
Gordon R. Dickson
George R.R. Martin
