If you're an Octavia Butler fan, this is a must-see. A group of excellent to great authors and editors talk about memories of Butler and her work for two hours.
Octavia was a fine writer whose prose flowed easily and sketched realistic characters. She was a mentor to Sheree Renee Thomas and I at Clarion West (Nisi was often in attendance, sitting in to listen to the masters of the craft). Butler was inspirational, making writing all feel real and possible.
APB-SAL is a blog about education, science, science education, fiction, science fiction, literature, literary stories, poetry, and anything else that strikes the blogger's fancy. NOTE: This blog interrogates art. It rarely make moral proclamations. For that attend the church or politician of your choice. This blog concerns aesthetics, not propaganda. Consider this as interviews with books where the interviewer presents interviewees, so you get what you need to do your own thinking.
