My World Fantasy Schedule
Oct. 23rd, 2011 11:42 amSATURDAY
10:00 AM: From Elfland to Poughkeepsie: Should Fantasy Sound Like Fantasy?*
Ellen Klages, Ellen Kushner(Moderator - ohhhh, the power!), Shawna McCarthy, Terri-Lynne Defino, Susan Forest
Ursula K. Le Guin argued [in her essay "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie"] that epic or mythic fantasy should have a language that helps the story keep a distance from the ordinary. Does most epic fantasy today continue that tradition? Is it really a necessary part of epic fiction?
Ha. I did this panel 2 yrs ago at Montreal WorldCon with Guy Kay as moderator! It was a great panel then, and I hope I can come even close to doing as good a job. It's certainly a subject that fascinates me.
1-2 pm, room # t.b.a.
