The Unique Authorial Voice
Michael Swanwick
"My name is Michael Swanwick, and I was put here on Earth to spread confusion."
Chip Delany
Chip:
"When I taught Galaxies, one of my favorite of Barry's
novels... my brightest student....took Galaxies home, and started
reading, and came in the next day and said, 'When I got through the first
page, I suddenly felt like I could relax, I'm with somebody who knows
what they're saying.' In a way, what else are we trying to do?"
Barry
Malzberg: "Why have you not told me this?!"
Chip: "I just did!"
Barry: "I could have found the courage to go on!"
