Episode 21. The full 2006 interview with science fiction author Mike Resnick. He talks about his many trips to Africa. “Almost no place that Burroughs describes exists,” he says. “My first four Hugo winners were all African stories. I've never been able to create any civilization as alien as some of the ones in Africa.” He discusses his many inspirations and his own success. Why science fiction pays the bills while you can starve writing “mainstream.” And much more in this wide-ranging interview. Mike tells a story about Isaac Asimov at a convention. Mike died on Jan. 9, 2020 at age 77.
