The final Readercon Schedule is out, and I'm impressed (and a little nervous) about my schedule, which includes two (count 'em, two!) readings, a panel, and a "themed kaffeeklatsch." Here it is for anyone attending who wants to drop by and say hello:
Thursday 9:00 PM, Salon A: Reading (30 min.)
I'll probably read "Waiting for Jakie," which was published in a recent issue of Apex.
Friday 12:00 Noon, Room 458: Kaffeeklatsch
Topic: How to Write for a Living When You Can't Live On Your Fiction
Friday 9:00 PM, ME/ CT: Panel
Exceptions to the Rule. John Crowley, Jim Freund (L), Stephen Graham
Jones, Barbara Krasnoff, Robert V. S. Redick
[Greatest Hit from Readercon 1.] All con long we've talked about the
ideas, styles, and aesthetic values that distinguish good literature,
because written literature is the medium where we expect the creative
cutting edge of the f&sf field to be. But is it always that way? Can the
intelligence and subtlety that inform a great novel or short story
translate to other forms? Are there ways that those forms, properly used,
could surpass written literature at the things we expect written
literature to do best? As well as identifying some outstanding existing
work, we'll talk about what we'd like to see in the future.
Saturday 2:00 PM, VT: Group Reading
Clockwork Phoenix 2 Group Reading (60 min.) Mike Allen (host) with
Saladin Ahmed, Leah Bobet, Mary Robinette Kowal, Barbara Krasnoff,
Catherynne M. Valente
Readings from the second volume of the annual non-theme anthology
(subtitled More Tales of Beauty and Strangeness) edited by Allen and
just published by Norilana Books.
