HOW IT WAS MADE?
"Between science fiction and fantasy" is born from my reflections on science fiction and fantasy. I have written it over 8 years. It is a serious attempt to elucidate several questions that were on my mind: What is science fiction? Why is science fiction important? Why are speculative fiction readers different? What is the relationship between science and science fiction? What are the territories of science fiction? How are science fiction characters built?
This book brings together the practice of science fiction writing and the study of various personal references.
