From Library Journal
Van Belkom, himself a writer of speculative fiction, speaks with 22 notable writers in the fields of sf, fantasy, and horror. This collection of interviews focuses exclusively on writers born and/or living in Canada and includes familiar names like Tanya Huff, Guy Gavriel Kay, and William Gibson. Each article features an author photo, a one-page biography, and six to ten pages on such topics as publishing speculative fiction, methods of writing, and the authors' reasons for living in Canada. Van Belkom tends to ask fairly obvious questions, and his relentless emphasis on Canada gets tiresome. However, hearing these writers talk about themselves offers an interesting perspective on their work. Suitable for academic collections on criticism of genre fiction.?Laurel Bliss, New Haven, CTCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
