In this vintage conversation from the 1990s, Lois McMaster Bujold joins Tony Tellado and Ernest Lilley at a moment when her acclaimed Vorkosigan Saga is evolving in bold, emotionally resonant ways. Speaking from the era of her then‑latest novel, Memory (1996), Bujold offers a candid, thoughtful look at the craft behind one of science fiction's most beloved universes. Now 76 and living in Minneapolis, Bujold remains a towering figure in speculative fiction — but here, listeners get to hear her voice from the period when Miles Vorkosigan's journey was taking its most introspective and transformative turn. BONUS: Vintage Radio Texture: Patrick Stewart & Ernest Lilley In this archival clip, Patrick Stewart reflects on what made Star Trek: First Contact such a defining moment for both Jean‑Luc Picard.

Découvrez la passionnante analyse de La Servante Écarlate, chef d'oeuvre de Margaret Atwood par Pauline Montassine, docteure en Littérature Canadienne. Anatomie d'un chef d'oeuvre Classique parmi les classiques, il fallait bien que nous fassions un épisode entier pour analyser ce chef d'oeuvre de la science-fiction. En 1985, la romancière canadienne Margaret Atwood écrit une des grandes dystopies littéraires à mettre au même niveau que 1984, Nous et Le Meilleur des Mondes. Margaret Atwood ,qui vient de la littérature générale, suit la première vague d'autrices SF des années 80 avec Joan D. Vinge, C.J. Cherryh, Connie Willis ou Lois McMaster Bujold. La Servante Écarlate sera considéré comme un phénomène dés sa sortie et s'imposera comme étant incontournable. Le roman sera rédécouvert par la nouvelle génération avec l'élection de Donald Trump et l'adaptation du roman par Bruce Miller avec l'actrice Elisabeth Moss en tête d'affiche. Hébergé par Ausha.

Martha Wells is a science fiction and fantasy author. She spoke with us about her books (including Murderbot Diaries!), writing, and creating fantastical worlds. Marth (@marthawells1) has won Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards for her work. We mostly talked about the Murderbot Diaries and the Books of the Raksura. Oh, and the Star Wars tie-in about Leia, Razor's Edge. And The Witch King is coming out next year, a brand new world. Heck, just look at her full catalog. Martha also has a blog and a website. As often happens when book dragons get together, we talked about our hoards. Some books and authors that came up: Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal Ian Halle Ancillary Justice trilogy by Ann Leckie Phyllis Gotlieb (Wikipedia) Andre Norton (Wikipedia) Zenna Henderson (Wikipedia) The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold (we didn't like the new covers as much as the old but the books are great either way) Tor.com is a fantastic site with lots of free fiction. Murderbot started there and has a few short stories that are otherwise hard to find. There is a rare and sold out Subterranean Press edition of the Murderbot Diaries with illustrations from Tommy Arnold. See some of the illustrations. Transcript
little red book is joined by Ashaman and his lovely Lady Ash to discuss one of red's favorite author's romance novel. There is sex and naughty words so we've marked this episode explicit. Hope you enjoy Red Reads Romance with GT couples part 2.
Seth's nephew Jacob joins him for a quick conversation about Mirror Dance, winner of the 1995 Hugo Award for Best Novel. No real non-spoiler discussion on this one since it's pretty hard to discuss without spoilers both for this book and for the rest of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Despite the grim nature of a story about a pandemic that destroys civilization, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is full of subtle optimism and deep characters. It jumps between timelines and between characters, and builds mystery about how all these people are going to be connected. It tells a tense story about the dangers posed by other survivors in a post-apocalyptic world, while at the same time its characters try to hold on to art and music. It even manages to explore the narcissism created by celebrity in the 'present' timeline. The book was first published as sci-fi, but after the release of the TV show has been moved to the general fiction section in most book stores, so this also seemed like the right episode go deep on what exactly counts as sci-fi. As always, we also recommend and discuss some similar books if you are looking for more great books to read. This week we recommend Barrayar (or any book in the Vorkosigan Saga) by Lois McMaster Bujold, The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel, any book by Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.If you'd prefer to watch the video version, you can watch it at this link.

Así que su encuentro con Aral Vorkosigan solo podía ser consecuencia de una de esas estratagemas tan sórdidas y abundantes en la militarizada sociedad de Barrayar. Un conjunto de intrigas, traiciones y engaños la conducen a establecer una paz personal con Aral Vorkosigan, su principal enemigo.

This week we were so excited to interview Joe Haldeman and his wife Gay! The Forever War is absolutely one of the best sci fi books of all time, and we were excited to discuss the origins, real-life inspiration, and message of the book, as well as sci-fi and writing more broadly. In addition to writing more than 30 novels, Joe was also a professor at MIT (as was Gay) where he taught science fiction writing for decades. This week, instead of us recommending similar books, we asked Joe and Gay to recommend their favorite sci-fi books. Among Joe's books, they recommended Camouflage, the World's Trilogy, and The Accidental Time Machine. For books by other writers, they recommended anything by Vonnegut, The Murderbot series by Martha Wells, Ted Chiang, N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy, and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga (as well as some love for John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway if you want to read some non science fiction).YouTube link if you prefer to watch the episode.NO SPOILERS SUMMARY OF THE FOREVER WAR: William Mandella was a physics student when he was conscripted into the UNEF. Human colony ships had been disappearing, apparently at the hands of a newly discovered alien species called the Taurans, and humanity is conscripting the best and brightest to go out and fight the aliens in deep space.Mandella and the rest of the recruits undergo dangerous and brutal training to learn how fight for control of the collapsars that greatly speed interstellar travel. During training and through the difficult fighting that follows, Mandella falls in love with another member of his unit, a woman named Marygay Potter.Mandella and Marygay do everything they can to survive the war, but even if they survive, they still can't return to the world they left behind. Even with the collapsars to speed their interstellar journeys, travelling through the gaps between the stars still requires accelerating to near lightspeed, and the resulting time dilation means every trip takes them farther and farther into the future, away from their families and the society they knew.
Lisa McCarty joins me for a discussion of Lois McMaster Bujold's 1992 Hugo-winner, Barrayar. Start - 5:55Intro through "Why this book?"5:56 - 14:31Non-Spoiler discussion14:32 - endSpoiler discussion Notes & Mentions: The Wayfarers Series, by Becky ChambersThe Interdependency Series, by John ScalziAdrian TchaikovskyThe Galactic Cold War Series, by Dan Moren Lisa's Links: Narrated Podcast: https://narratedpodcast.com Narrated Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/_narrated Lisa's Twitter: https://twitter.com/lisa_jm
This series is beloved by its fans, but doesn't get enough recognition in the wider world. These are incredible, character-driven stories that are a breeze to read but beneath the surface have so much to say about what's most important in life and the meaning and definition of personal identity. That makes them the perfect intro to sci fi for anyone new to the genre, and a refreshing read for any longtime sci fi fan. 4.25 / 5 stars. The Vorkosigan Saga is a series of 16 books by Lois McMaster Bujold, three of which won the Hugo award in 1991, 1992, and 1995. The Vor Game, Barrayar, Mirror Dance, and the rest of the saga follow the members of the Vorkosigan family, one of the feudal ruling families on the planet Barrayar. The books are digestible and concise by sci fi standards (350-600 pages, 11-18 hours of audiobook). The series is also loosely episodic, so you don't have to read them in order. These are character-driven stories, and you're sure to remember these characters for years. The most important of them, Miles Vorkosigan, is clearly the inspiration for George R.R. Martin's Tyrion Lannister, and is even more likable than the knock-off Lannister version. He's a dwarf who suffers from several physical disabilities, but he's wildly brilliant, funny, and imperious, and is constantly throwing himself into danger to protect his friends and family (or just get himself out of a jam of his own making). Across the generations, the Vorkosigan family are the main advisers to generations of Barrayaran emperors, and have to use their wits and intellect to get the empire out of trouble and slowly push Barrayaran society out of its backward nature. These are books about people, the stories that make them who they are, and how they create and define their identities in an unfriendly universe.
It's all about science fiction today on The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast! Sci-Fi takes up a significant portion of my bookshelves, how about yours? Today I interview a very special guest, the Hugo award nominated (and winner!) author Naomi Kritzer. She has two stories up for nomination this year at the Hugoes - “Monster” and the marvelous “Little Free Library”.
