World Science Fiction
The first is an interview column with science fiction masters launched by the "World Science Fiction" column in exclusive cooperation with "Locus" magazine!
The world's top science fiction industry magazine "Locus" was founded in New York in 1968. Over the years, it has demonstrated its outstanding status in the field of science fiction with its excellent reviews and reports, in-depth author interviews, comprehensive English science fiction book information and science fiction conference reports. It has won 30 Hugo Awards, including 8 Best Fan Magazine Awards and 22 Best Semi-Professional Magazine Awards. Science Fiction World will join forces with "Locus" to launch an interview column with science fiction masters. I hope that readers will have more desire to explore and love world science fiction while catching a glimpse of the master's style.
The interviewee in this issue is Connie Willis, a famous contemporary American science fiction writer. Born in 1945, she is the science fiction master who has won the most Hugo Awards and Nebula Awards so far (a total of eleven Hugo Awards and seven Nebula Awards). Not only that, Connie Willis has also won many core science fiction awards such as the Locus Award, Campbell Memorial Award, and Clark Award. In 2009, she was elected to the "Science Fiction Hall of Fame". In 2012, she won the "Damon Knight Memorial Master Award", becoming the 28th recognized "master of science fiction" in the world.
"Spirituals Choose Their Own Group" Author: [American] Connie Willis
Emily Dickinson never left her home, but she saved the planet?
The author created a science fiction story imagining the unique lifestyle of his favorite poet Emily Dickinson, who lived in seclusion and communicated with people through notes. After the death of a famous poet in the real world, the poetic code of the "Grave Poem" was connected with the Martian invasion of the earth in the masterpiece "The War of the Worlds" by the science fiction master H. G. Wells, resulting in a short story that is both literary and science fiction, and is so wild and "very reasonable". Come see how Emily Dickinson saves the planet!
