| Re: Mundane?
So really, it should be write a good book and let the book sellers do the genre pigeon-holing so readers know which shelf to head for. Those who enjoy Geoff Ryman won't be looking for a 'mundane' label, they'll be looking for the author's name.
As for the New Wave feeding back into the genre and enriching it, that's something many writers of the time disputed and I would dispute now. Odd how well SF magazines sold before the New Wave and how they went into terminal decline during it, of course it was all about costs, wasn't it? Yeah, right. |
