Friday 6:00 PM. Panel
Reading Through Another's Eyes.
James Alan Gardner, Ellen Kushner (+M), Tom La Farge, Robert J. Sawyer, Wendy Walker
One of the devices experienced readers sometimes use is reading and trying to
better understand a book by imagining the response to the text of someone other than one's self. For instance, it's a great way to approach a book that our
significant other adores but is less than wonderful for us. Or one can imagine
the response of a reader from a different period of time or with different genre
expectations-or our own response at an earlier age.
Friday 9:00 PM. Reading (30 min.)
Ellen Kushner reads from her forthcoming novel from Bantam (entitled
Challenge? The Mad Duke? The Opinion of the Sword? . . . only her editor knows for sure!), which takes place twenty years after the events of Sworsdpoint and forty years before The Fall of the Kings.
Saturday 11:00 AM. Broad Universe group reading (60 min).
Jennifer Pelland (host); Elaine Isaak, Ellen Kushner, Victoria McManus, Sarah Micklem, Delia Sherman, et al
Saturday 1:00 PM. Panel
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Important: The Art of Secondary Characters.
James Patrick Kelly (+M), Ellen Kushner, Yves Meynard, Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Paul Park, Delia Sherman
They can fade into the background or steal the story, and there's an art to
knowing which is appropriate, and a craft to making them vivid and rounded when the story calls for it.
Saturday 3:00 PM. Talk / Discussion (60 min.)
Interstitial Arts: How It All Began, And What We're Going To Do About It Now!
Kushner reads from her essay on Interstitial Arts -- commissioned by editor Jack Dann for "Movements in Science Fiction and Fantasy: a Symposium" in his Nebula Awards Showcase 2005 (Roc, March 2005) -- and invites discussion of the concept and its goals. ("Interstitial Arts" are works that cross or straddle the borders between mediums, the borders between genres, and/or the borders between "high art" and popular culture.)
Sunday 1:30 PM. Autographing
Sunday 2:00 PM. Kaffeeklatsch
