In-depth, intense, insightful.
For more than a decade, radical science fiction author and activist
journalist Terry Bisson interviewed some of the most provocative and
outspoken authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Anarchism, sexuality, creativity, and the future of humanity itself-no
topic was taboo. Bisson's prankster spirit also shone through as he
quizzed his subjects about what cars they drove, played free association
games, and created an atmosphere of two old friends having intimate
late-night chats. Collected from PM Press's award-winning Outspoken
Authors series for the first time, The Outspoken and the Incendiary
showcases insightful and long-form explorations into the lives and
minds of some of today's most politically charged fiction writers.
"PM's Outspoken Authors series looks almost like a science fiction
Who's Who or Hall of Fame, except that I included myself. Because I
could." -Terry Bisson
