Magic Realism is not new. The label's new, the specific Latin American form of it is new, its modern popularity is new, but it's been around as long as literature has been around.
From Terri Windling
We've always lived in dark times. There has always been a range of human experience from the sublime to the brutal, and stories reflect it. It's no less brutal now; each age has its horrors.
I have a great respect for the academics who are working with the source material. My hat's off to them.
I like Celtic folk music, Native American music, and any kind of early music. There isn't a lot of music that I don't like... except for Show Tunes.
Since fantasy isn't about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!
I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills.
When I was younger, I was in love with everything about the British Isles, from British folklore to Celtic music. That was always where my passions were as a young girl, and so I studied folklore as a college student in England and Ireland.
I divide my time between homes in Arizona and England, six months a year in each place.
I've only been living in England for the last 10 years, if you don't count my student years.
There's that old adage about how there's only seven plots in the world and Shakespeare's done them all before.
