Tomorrow’s Genre Stars (today)
Posted by Will Entrekin on June 12, 2008
In the latest installment of their fairly regular feature “Mind Meld,” SF Signal asks lots of genre/industry people to speculate about who’s going to be “Tomorrow’s Big Genre” stars. Cory Doctorow is on the list, as is Elizabeth Bear, which I find a little surprising because they’re both kinda Today’s big genre stars, but hey, what do I know. Spoiler: I’m not on the list (ten years from now? We’ll see where I am), but then again, I’m not entirely sure I’m a genre writer; Entrekin is an up-market collection more than anything else.
Speak of Cory Doctorow, the Onion’s AV Club interviews him.
Oh, and that big celebrity memoir about to come out but being all hush-hush about it? It’s a memoir of Madonna by her brother. Which I don’t get; has anyone led a more public life than Madonna? The entire world has seen her fellate a Perrier bottle, get nekkid with Vanilla Ice and Willem Dafoe, and worship a black Jesus . . .
