It's interesting to me that when I and other authors suggest starting people new to SF/F on contemporary titles as an easier step-in to the genre, there are people who seem to think this means we think no one should read anything in SF/F that's more than 20 years old, EVER. This is, uh, very silly.

I love the transition from pulp to literature that Sherlock Holmes managed.

Doyle even came to hate the character and killed him off, but was convinced to bring him back.

What's "pulp" now may be classic in a decade or two.

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.
