$6,000 raised - bonus interview published!
Added 2016-09-27 16:33:44 +0000 UTCHi all,
We've reached our next bonus content tier! You can now enjoy Aishwarya Subramanian's interview with Garth Nix, conducted at a conference in Newcastle (UK) earlier this year.
AS: So in a sense the wall itself is just one example of an entire tradition of English literature, where elements of British myth and history make their way into everything else. I was reading your story notes to one of the stories in Across The Wall [a 2005 collection of short stories] recently, and you ruefully admitted to having "committed Arthuriana". . .
GN: I've always thought of myself as someone who does not like retellings of Arthurian stories, but then that doesn't really hold up upon examination because I have some favourite ones, which I like very much, and then of course I've done it myself. And I'm quite likely to do it again as well, so . . . either I don't know myself as well as I think I do, or I'm just a hypocrite. Or both.
What's next? Well, when we reach $7,500 we'll have more poems for you, by Margaret Wack and Karin Lowachee; at $9,000 we have a fascinating round-table discussion of <cite style="text-align: left;">Escape</cite> and <cite style="text-align: left;">The Island of Lost Girls</cite> by Manjula Padmanabhan, and at $11,500 a new story by Jenn Grunigen. All good stuff that hopefully we will be able to bring to you Real Soon Now. Perhaps sooner, if you have friends who you think might enjoy the magazine...
