Only just heard that science fiction author and literary giant Christopher Priest passed away on Friday. I'm sharing a couple of video interviews he had with his long-time friend Stephen E Andrews. He talks about his career, a modest appreciation of his role in new wave SF, his influences and, among other things, the success he had with The Prestige.
Sad. He was a difficult writer and I didn't always completely enjoy his work, and it wasn't the candy that so much science fiction, entails, but when he was good, he was unutterably superb.
