Writers Finding Themselves a City to Live In

You might remember about a month ago, when I hosted a discussion at Borders with Jeff VanderMeer, Jeffrey Ford, and Geoff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG about the intersections of visionary architecture and science fiction/fantasy. Well, SF novelist Jon Armstrong was there to record the proceedings for his podcast, If You’re Just Joining Us, and now everyone can listen in. It’s a little over a half-hour in length, and although I sometimes felt a little hesitant in my questions (and I can really hear it listening to the playback), the three authors had great answers and will give you a lot to think about.

I hope you’ll track down their books, and you should also visit Jon’s website, where you can get a look at his novel, Grey, which I read two years ago at the prompting of a mutual colleague and thought was fabulous the same way I loved the Frederick Pohl/C.M. Kornbluth collaborations growing up.
