I'll second that- I sent him a letter (about fifteen years ago, admittedly) and he replied, even enclosing the words of a song he wanted set to music (I saw it in one of the later Callahan books, so probably someone else finished it) but it came as we were rebuilding the video studio, so got put to one side- and I never found it again.

I'm not too fond of his scifi stuff - too ethereal and full of ideas that make my head hurt. My favorite's (if you couldn't tell from my earlier posts) are his short stories and the Callahan series. He does a great article as well. Seems to have a good newspaper voice. Instead of speaking at people, he speaks to them. There really is a difference. |
I challenge anyone to come up with an idea I'm not ready to consider (really)
. But I do think he's better with short material- the best "Stardance" was the original, novella version.
