Blast From the Past
Posted on August 29, 2006 Posted by John Scalzi
CBC Journalist Joe Mahoney has unearthed an interview I did with him at Torcon 3 — my first science fiction convention! — and put it online here. I note it for its anthropological interest.
Looking back over a gulf of three years almost exactly, it’s interesting to hear how tentative I was in associating myself with SF; during the course of the interview, when I speak of the SF community, I say “these people,” implicitly separating myself out from the community. Needless to say I don’t really have this tentativeness problem with SFdom anymore.
