Shuteye for the Timebroker
“While masquerading as a major Verne aficionado during my attendance at a French convention in his hometown of Nantes, I quaked and quailed inside, fearing exposure at any minute.
But the work of Verne that I have read, I’ve enjoyed very much. So when editor Mike Ashley invited me to contribute to an anthology honoring Verne’s creations by extending them, I jumped at the chance. Luckily, I had just finished reading Verne’s The Mysterious Island in a fine new translation, and so I had a platform ...from which to leap.
Here’s hoping I did some acrobatic twirls on the way down.
The Mysterious Iowans “I am inclined to think that in the future the world will not have many more novels in which mind problems will be solved by the imagination. It may be the natural feeling of an old man with a hundred books behind him, who feels that he has written out his subject, but I really feel as though the writers of the present day and the past time who have allowed their imaginations to play upon mind problems, have, to use a colloquialism, nearly filled the bill.”MoreLess
