Podcast appearances and mentions of Gardner Dozois

For our first episode of 2025, we touch upon novels we've been reading for the new year, including Charles Stross's 13th Laundry novel/collection A Conventional Boy and Ray Nayler's Where the Axe is Buried, as well as the frustrations of reading books on deadlines—as opposed to wallowing in them at leisure, and some non-SF writers we like. Gary then mentions how hard it is to gain perspective on novels of the past year, and suggests looking instead at important books of the entire past quarter-century from the perspective of 2025.  We only got partway through his list, which included novels by Alastair Reynolds, Kim Stanley Robinson, Octavia Butler, M. John Harrison, Margaret Atwood, Susanna Clarke, Gene Wolfe, Cixin Liu, and Robert Charles Wilson; collections by Kelly Link, Margo Lanagan, and Jeff Ford; anthologies by Sheree R. Thomas and Gardner Dozois—the last of which leads to a discussion of the durability of space opera as a defining SF theme. Plenty of stuff to argue with this week!

El presente relato corto ganó el premio Nébula del año 2014 . En realidad, no estamos ante un cuento estrictamente de ciencia ficción, ni siquiera es fantástico… o tal vez sí, pero al margen de su adscripción genérica se trata de una bellísima historia de amor ❤️ —casi un poema— que merecía ser publicada en español y narrada por una servidora. Apareció en marzo de 2013 en la cada vez más interesante revista Apex y suscitó decenas de elogios aunque también fue una de las historias que centraron los ataques del ala más reaccionaria de la ciencia ficción norteamericana, aquella liderada por los denominados Sad Puppies y Rabid Puppies, cuyas campañas han llegado incluso a amenazar el prestigio de los premios Hugo. Por cierto, el marido de Rachel es un gran aficionado a los dinosaurios. 🦖🦖 RACHEL SWIRSKY (California, 1982) es una escritora de fantasía y ficción especulativa, aunque también es poeta, ensayista, editora e, incluso, fue vicepresidenta de la Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Ha sido nominada a los premios Hugo, Sturgeon y Locus, y en 2010 obtuvo el Nébula de mejor novela corta con «The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen’s Window» . Sus historias han aparecido en numerosas publicaciones: Tor.com, Subterranean Magazine, Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Fantasy Magazine, Interzone, Realms of Fantasy, Weird Tales, y en recopilaciones tan prestigiosas como The Year’s Best Science Fiction de Gardner Dozois, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy de Rich Horton, Year’s Best Science Fiction y Fantasy of the Year de Jonathan Strahan, o Best American Fantasy de Jeff y Ann VanderMeer. 📌 ¡¡Síguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas (estamos preparando un sorteo)🎁 🛑BIO Olga Paraíso: https://instabio.cc/Hleidas 📌Súbete a nuestra nave y disfruta de contenido exclusivo solo para ti, pulsa el botón azul APOYAR y serás un tabernero galáctico desde 1,49€ al mes.

Munch Carnitas Benedict with the award-winning Michael Swanwick as we discuss his response to learning a reader of his was recently surprised to find out he was still alive, how J. R. R. Tolkien turned him into a writer, why it took him 15 years of trying to finally finish his first story, how Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann taught him how to write by taking apart one of his tales and putting it back together again, why it was good luck he lost his first two Nebula Awards the same year, the good advice William Gibson gave him which meant he never had to be anxious about awards again, which friend's story was so good he wanted to throw his own typewriter out the window in a rage, the novel he abandoned writing because he found the protagonists morally repugnant, why he didn't want to talk about Playboy magazine, the truth behind a famous John W. Campbell, Jr./Robert Heinlein anecdote, and much more.

With Gary about to leave for the World Fantasy Convention to be held in New Orleans next week, and with Jonathan in the process of assembling anthologies on the most recent iterations of space opera, we spend most of our time discussing the characteristics, history, and too-common misuse of that venerable term. While we do touch briefly on the etymology of 'space opera', and on the pulp-era adventures that Wilson Tucker had in mind when he rather contemptuously coined the term in 1941, most of the discussion focuses on how the idea has evolved since M. John Harrison set out to demolish the old-school space opera with The Centauri Device in 1974, the efforts of Paul J. McAuley and others to define a new space opera in the 1980s (and Jonathan and Gardner Dozois's The New Space Opera anthologies of 2007 and 2010), the influence of media, and more recent examples ranging from James S.A. Corey's Expanse series to Aliette de Bodard's Xuya universe, Nnedi Okorafor's Binti series, and other authors who have energetically begun to reclaim space opera for a more diverse cast of characters. We fully expect enthusiastic disagreements. As always, we hope you enjoy the episode. See you all again after World Fantasy!

This week Jonathan and Gary are joined by the wonderful Eileen Gunn, whose Night Shift Plus... is the latest volume in PM Press's ongoing series of “Outspoken Authors” collections, which combine fiction and nonfiction with an author interview by series editor Terry Bisson. We discuss Eileen's stories, her essays on Ursula K. Le Guin, Carol Emshwiller, and Gardner Dozois (and her essay on William Gibson's Neuromancer that she could not include in the collection), her earlier collections Stable Strategies and Questionable Practices, the early days of the online zine Infinite Matrix and what it was like in the early days of Microsoft, her wide range of connections in the SF world, and her fascinating novel in progress. As usual, there are digressions, but they're pretty interesting, too.  

A review that in effect passes judgment on all modern science fiction, with a slightly different tack from my usual. (This article was first published August 23, 2016.)

Nibble noodles with Daryl Gregory as we discuss how he celebrated the two books he published during the pandemic, what caused him to say about his latest novel, "I like to split the difference to keep everyone as unsatisfied as possible," the narrative technique which finally unlocked the writing of that book (and why it made Revelator more difficult to complete), how our mothers responded to our writing, the way marketing affects the reading protocols of our stories, how listening to Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm argue about one of his stories freed him as a writer, the promise a murder mystery makes to a reader, his "Mom Rule" for Easter eggs, the way he tortured a comic book artist with an outrageous panel description, how to play fair when writing a science fiction mystery where anything can happen, what Samuel R. Delany told him which helped him make his first sale to F&SF, how he doesn't understand why everybody doesn't want to be writers, the way his writing gets better during the times he isn't writing, Gardner Dozois' "ladder of sadness," and much more.

Partea a doua, din patru, a miniseriei Lecturilor SF&F pentru vacanță vine nu cu două, ci cu trei recomandări. De data aceasta recomandările sunt 3 antologii de povestiri tematice: 'Femei periculoase', 'Razbonici' și 'Străzi întunecate'. De toate pentru toți. Toate 3 au apărut la editura Nemira și toate 3 sub îngrijirea lui George R.R. Martin împreună cu Gardner Dozois. Eurostat a publicat statisticile anuale, iar România ocupă primul loc în topul țărilor europene ai căror locuitori nu au citit nici măcar o carte într-un an. Mai exact, 70% dintre români nu au citit în 2020 nici măcar o carte (!!!). Pe locul 2, dar la distanță, este Bulgaria, cu 52%. Pe cine găsim pe 'ultimele' locuri? Găsim țările nordice, iar Suedia are doar 17% dintre locuitori care să nu fi citit nici măcar o carte într-un an. Poate este un alt motiv pentru care nu ar trebui să ne mai mire că au printre cele mai bune nivele de trai și sisteme educaționale. De mult timp îmi doream să fac ceva prin care să încurajez oamenii să citească, iar acest procent de 70% a fost catalizatorul. Acest sezon este manifestul meu pentru educație. Episoadele lui vor fi scurte (10-15 minute). Vor fi fără invitați, iar în ele voi recomanda câte două cărți care pe mine m-au influențat și ajutat. Ele vor fi din domenii diferite: de la parenting la dezvoltare personală, trecând prin business, marketing digital, beletristică (mai ales SF & Fantasy), personal branding sau psihologie. Ma voi folosi de notițele luate în timp ce citeam cartea respectivă și le voi prezenta pe cele mai importante 3. Vreau și sper ca așa să te influențez pe tine, care asculți, să citești și mai mult. La fel de important, sper ca TU să influențezi pe cineva care știi că nu citește, să pună mâna pe o carte. Să o citească și să ia din ea ce are nevoie pentru a deveni mai bun sau mai bună. Hai să ieșim împreuna din acest top! Hai ca, împreună, să ducem procentul la 49% în următorii 3 ani. Spor! Andrei V. P.S.: între timp, te poți inspira și din lista de 35 de cărți pe care să le citești pentru tine, cei dragi și cariera ta. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parentprenor/message

Dozois también ha sido mundialmente conocido por su colaboración con el escritor George R. R. Martin —Dozois fue quien recomendó “The Hero”, el primer relato publicado de Martin en 1971—. Juntos han editado antologías como Songs of the Dying Earth, Warriors, Songs of Love and Death, Dangerous Women, Old Venus y Rogues. Entre los últimos trabajos de Dozois se encuentran las también antologías The Book of Swords —la cual incluye la novela corta de Martin “The Sons of the Dragon”, ambientada en el pasado de “Canción de hielo y fuego”—, The Book of Magic —a publicar en octubre de este año—, The Book of Legends, prevista para 2019, y el trigésimo quinto volumen de The Year's Best Science Fiction.

For their 500th episode (if you count the shorter “10 Minutes With” episodes they've been doing since March), Jonathan and Gary characteristically fail to achieve any sort of clear structure for the discussion but do return to some favourite themes. While we manage to avoid reopening the old canon of worms, we do talk about what science fiction cultural literacy might look like—not in terms of specific works, but in terms of concepts and techniques, and how they might change over time. Would a reader of Gardner Dozois's first “year's best” anthology feel any sense of familiarity with Jonathan's volume from 2020? And as usual, we look at the year so far, some forthcoming books to look for, and the pleasures we've had in chatting with new and old friends in our shorter lockdown-era podcasts.

Practice social distancing with Scott Edelman, host of Eating the Fantastic, as he answers listener questions about his early days in the Marvel Comics Bullpen, the many things he and legendary editor Gardner Dozois shoved up their noses, when his food and fandom interests began to overlap, what he would have said to Harlan Ellison had he been in Barry Malzberg's shoes, whether experiencing personal tragedy helps or harms a writer, the cognitive dissonance he feel about comics having taken over the world, which characters caused him to start writing (hint: it was Conan the Barbarian), what he wishes he knew less about, who he was the most thrilled to have met in his life, whether he still gets a kick out of his favorite childhood treats, what a terrible collaborator he is, and much, much more.

Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through these difficult times. Another quiet afternoon, so Gary spends ten minutes with multiple Hugo-winning Michael Swanwick about Karl Schroeder, Roger Zelazny, Duke Ellington, collaborating with Gardner Dozois, and Michael's own remarkable trilogy of genre-mixing stand-alone novels. Books mentioned include: The Iron Dragon's Mother by Michael Swanwick The Postutopian Adventures of Darger and Surplus by Michael Swanwick City Under the Stars by Gardner Dozois and Michael Swanwick Stealing Worlds by Karl Schroeder Doorways in the Sand by Roger Zelazny    

Author Michael Swanwick joins me to talk about his newest books, including “The Iron Dragon's Mother,” which concludes a trilogy that began 25 years ago and “City Under the Stars.” We talk a lot about world-building, how the publishing business has changed since he started writing, and the influence that fellow writer Gardner Dozois had on his life and career.

Chow down on chowder with the award-winning Jack Dann as we discuss the novel he and Gardner Dozois always planned to write but never did, how a botched appendectomy at age 20 which left him with only a 5% chance of survival inspired one of his most famous stories, why he quit law school the day after he sold a story to Damon Knight's Orbit series, the bad writing advice he gave Joe Haldeman early on we're glad got ignored, the secrets to successful collaborations, the time Ellen Datlow acted as referee on a story he wrote with Michael Swanwick, how it felt thanks to his novel The Man Who Melted to be a meme before we began living in a world of memes, why he's drawn to writing historical novels which require such a tremendous amount of research, the time he was asked to channel the erotica of Anaïs Nin, the gift he got from his father that taught him to take joy in every moment — and much more.

On top of that, he’s also been a Broadway stagehand, collected data for museums, and executive produced a science fiction pilot for a basic cable channel. He lives in New Jersey with his fiancee, daughter, and way, way too many comic books.

After another long hiatus, Jonathan and Gary return with a ramble saying farewell to 2018 (actually recorded when it was still 2018 in Chicago and already 2019 in Perth). This time we look back on some of our favourite novels, novellas, collections, anthologies, and nonfiction from the past year, agreeing enthusiastically about Sam J. Miller's Blackfish City, Kelly Robson's Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach, Gardner Dozois's The Book of Magic, Alec Nevala-Lee's Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction (diverting into a side discussion of whether “golden ages” actually mean anything), and several other books and stories which one or both of us liked. We also name Blackfish City as our official Coode Street Book of Year! Did we draw any insightful conclusions about the overall health of the field last year, or what the field seems to be becoming? Of course not, but we have our opinions, and we had some fun. And who knows? We should be back sooner than you'd think.

Binge on sushi with award-winning author Pat Cadigan as we discuss what it was like being Robert A. Heinlein's liaison at the 1976 Kansas City Worldcon, why John Brunner hated her when they first met and what she did to eventually win him over, her secret childhood life as a member of The Beatles, what she and Isaac Asimov had in common when it came to convincing parents to accept science fiction, her original plan to grow up and script Legion of Super-Heroes comics, what she learned about writing from her 10 years at Hallmark Cards, how editor Shawna McCarthy helped birth her first novel, what effect being dubbed the Queen of Cyberpunk had on her career, who's Thelma and who's Louise in her Thelma and Louise relationship with editor Ellen Datlow, our joint friendships with Gardner Dozois, how she came up with her stories in the Wild Cards universe, and much more.

This week Gary and Jonathan spend some time discussing the work and legacy of Gardner Dozois (1947-2018), who died recently. A friend and colleague, Gardner was also a brilliant writer, a perceptive critic, a skilled story doctor and possibly the most influential editor in the history of science fiction. His three novels, several short story collections, and well over a hundred anthologies will stand the test of time, with the 35 volume The Year's Best Science Fiction and his nearly 20 years as editor of Asimov's Science Fiction standing at the heart of his legacy. He was also kind, supportive, and enormously good fun. He'll be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

On this week's podcast, we say good-bye to a Science Fiction legend and discuss Solo: A Star Wars Film.

It's Brian versus Dan Padavona in an epic rap battle (plus Dan talks about fan boundaries, Jack Ketchum, and post-social media promotion). Then, Brian, Mary, and Dave report on the Tale of Five Jack Ketchum Tribute Anthologies, Chuck Palahniuk's dire financial situation, and allegations that another small press might be folding. Plus, Gardner Dozois in remembrance.

With nominations for the 2018 Hugo Awards closing shortly, Jonathan and Gary headed to the Gershwin Room to discuss nominating for the Hugos, the recent proposal to change the name of the young adult (not a Hugo) award and to discuss at length their respective nominees for the 2018 World Fantasy Awards.  Towards the end of the podcast, Jonathan and Gary became aware of the sad news that Kate Wilhelm had died, and spend some time remembering one of the most important SF and mystery writers of the 20th century. We don't usually get to this, but in a rare moment of organisation, we're providing a combined copy of Jonathan and Gary's draft World Fantasy ballots below. These will change (they're drafts) but it may serve as a useful pointer to some good reading etc. As always we hope you enjoy the episode.

Share flash-fried cauliflower with Asimov's editor Sheila Williams as we chat about her first day on the job more than a third of a century ago, meeting Isaac Asimov at an early Star Trek convention when she was only 16, which writer intimidated her the most when she first got into the business, what she learned from working with previous Asimov's editors Shawna McCarthy and Gardner Dozois, the most common problems she sees in the more than 7,000 stories that cross her desk each year, the identities of the only writers she's never rejected, what goes through her mind in that moment she reads a manuscript and arrives at "yes," and much more.

Down drunken noodles with George R. R. Martin as we discuss why he was annoyed Marvel Comics printed his letters but DC never did, the reason Gardner Dozois was responsible for his first science fiction short story sale, how the rock 'n' roll novel Armageddon Rag got him a job on the rebooted Twilight Zone, what he learned from the arc of Stephen R. Donaldson's career, how losing the John W. Campbell Memorial Award got him his first editing gig, why he almost became a realtor, the time Harlan Ellison convinced him to apply to be the editor of Analog, and more. PLUS: Hear a snippet from an interview I did back in 1993 in which he makes an amusing admission about "a fantasy novel I've been working on off and on for awhile."

Almost Angels by Ian McHugh.  Featuring an afterword read by Ian McHugh.  Narrated by J.S. Arquin.  #robots #space #SciFi #zombieslugs #angels   It had been Nipper's idea, to follow the humans back to the stars.  Eccentric, the humans might have said, or even faulty.  But how could all five of them have the same fault?   Ian McHugh's first success as a fiction writer was winning the short story contest at the 2004 Australian National SF convention.  Since then, his stories have appeared in publications including Asimov's Science Fiction, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, the Escape Artists podcasts, and Australian year's best anthologies.  His short story collection, Angel Dust, was shortlisted for Best Collection at Australia's Aurealis Awards in 2015.  In 2017 he'll have his first story in a world years's best collection, Gardner Dozois's The Year's Best Science Fiction.  Find him online at ianmchugh.wordpress.com   Please help support the Overcast.

The sun burned through the clouds around noon on the long Cytherean day, and Dharthi happened to be awake and in a position to see it. She was alone in the highlands of Ishtar Terra on a research trip, five sleeps out from Butler base camp, and---despite the nagging desire to keep traveling---had decided to take a rest break for an hour or two. Noon at this latitude was close enough to the one hundredth solar dieiversary of her birth that she'd broken out her little hoard of shelf-stable cake to celebrate. | Copyright 2015 by Elizabeth Bear.
