Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

M. John Harrison - THE COURSE OF THE HEART
Q: What can you tell us about your upcoming book, The End of Everything?
It is a seaside road movie post-disaster, involving an alien invasion that forces characters to confront various changes in their lives.
M. John Harrison - THE COURSE OF THE HEART
Q: How do you perceive the relationship between reality and genre in your work?
For me, meaning is what counts in writing, and genre is just a tool to convey that meaning; I see significant value in the imagery of science fiction.
M. John Harrison - THE COURSE OF THE HEART
Q: What was your experience of climbing and how did that relate to your writing?
Climbers helped me to write about people by directly observing them, and The Course of the Heart was my attempt to apply that to a fantasy context.
M. John Harrison - THE COURSE OF THE HEART
Q: Can you begin by telling us a little bit about your background as a writer and growing up in Rugby in the years following the war?
I didn't like being told what to do and felt alienated, which stemmed from not wanting to fit into existing structures.
D. Harlan Wilson - STRANGELOVE COUNTRY
Q: Can you give us maybe a little crash course on Kubrick in general?
I thought about it, I wrote a proposal and sent it in, it was inspired by a book called 'Filmosophy' by Daniel Frampton.
