Never heard of her (Amazon check reveals mostly Kindle-only releases) Larry Send a noteboard - 14/11/2013 07:50:50 AM

I'm not familiar with her. I think she's still only known in some authors' circles (my friend is published in SF/F productions for short stories).

One more thing about Evenson: he's the head of Brown University's Creative Writing Program now, I believe, plus he is part of the literary magazine Conjunctions editorial staff, helping edit the related website's fiction releases. You may or may not enjoy his work, but a quick read would reveal just how different he is from "sunny" views and daft Mormon theology.

The sunny, happy part was the part I found the least compelling Tom - 12/11/2013 07:43:40 PM 654 Views

totally right on about him... no sexuality in any of his characters at all. temeraire - 13/11/2013 06:43:47 AM 666 Views
Well, there's enough going on that it's not a big deal, but yeah, it's obvious once you notice it beetnemesis - 13/11/2013 03:59:34 PM 604 Views
I'm curious how much he wrote when he was finishing Wheel of Time. Tom - 13/11/2013 08:54:02 PM 652 Views
Sanderson is writing some interesting blog posts on his site on that subject. Legolas - 13/11/2013 11:24:14 PM 627 Views
I feel like Jordan had a lot more allusions, though beetnemesis - 14/11/2013 03:04:09 PM 594 Views
"Serious" writers. I assume that would include competent as well.... Cannoli - 14/11/2013 12:45:37 AM 682 Views

I wish they had included some statistics of genre readership beetnemesis - 13/11/2013 03:49:03 AM 582 Views
I didn't know that "sex scenes, graphic violence and swearing" are the sings of a serious literature *NM* aragornital - 13/11/2013 07:02:40 AM 424 Views
Well, they're not, but their absence can sometimes be noticable (Mistborn spoilers) beetnemesis - 13/11/2013 04:08:32 PM 578 Views
To the extent that they represent a realistic, as opposed to idealistic, world, they sure are Tom - 13/11/2013 08:57:42 PM 609 Views
