This week we welcome very special guest Michael Swanwick, discussing his new ‘Darger and Surplus’ novel Chasing the Phoenix, the origins of the Darger and Surplus stories, his long-ago discussions with Fritz Leiber about whether the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories were actually horror stories, collaborating with Eilieen Gunn, William Gibson, and others, and what it was like to work with legendary editors Terry Carr and Gardner Dozois, plus other random-but-related topics.
As always, our thanks to Michael for making the time to be on the podcast and to you for taking the time to listen to it!
