Pieces on Speculative Fiction

Quote from recent interview at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist. That’s pretty big feat, considering that M. John Harrison is fairly profilic and prominent genre author. It’s understandable that writing Malazan novels has taken his time in recent years so that he has missed Light, but missing Viriconium in the last three decades is a bit odd. Unusual only in that Erikson says that he has been avid reader of science fiction and fantasy.

On a side note, Light is a book I really don’t always remember reading. It feels like I should have liked it, but it always takes some browsing to remember that oh, I’ve actually read this book. Viriconium stuff on the other hand is excellent and a lot of things from seventies are a bit icky.
