on my mind: Jo Walton's post about SF reading protocols. (and earlier related essays from Stanislaw Lem and James Gunn. Samuel Delaney's book is on my library holds list now.)

a choice quote from the Walton piece:
Science fiction may be literalization of metaphor, it may be open to metaphorical, symbolic and even allegorical readings, but what’s real within the story is real within the story, or there’s no there there.



i finished Tender Morsels this morning. hopefully a post about that will follow.

Thanks for the links. You got me thinking so much, I ended up writing my own post on the topic of reading, pretensions, etc.
