Lord thought Burnham would find Ghostsmore accessible than The Rainmaker’s Mistake, but she was wrong (though not badly wrong, thankfully).

Many thanks to Cheryl Morgan for helping to clean up the audio! With all the rich detail contained in this novel it took our longest podcast yet to even begin to wrap our arms around it. There’s so much here: characterization, colonialism, theology, and even a good sense of humor. We loved the book, we were in awe of the author, and we spoke with fluid eloquence (relative to previous podcasts!) about our love and awe.

They acknowledge that they omitted some of Egan’s best work because they chose stories available for free on the internet: With her knowledge of Egan’s entire fictional universe(s), she prevented Lord from making assumptions based on the snapshot of a single short story. Lord urged Burnham not to be modest about the fact that she has spent over three years researching Egan’s fiction.

Lord feared this unapologetically Caribbean book would be too challenging for readers lacking the historical and cultural context, but Burnham took to it like a duck to water and offered some important insights from the point of view of a non-West Indian and a genre reader.Ĭlick here for a reading and interview with Erna Brodber, and links to other interviews, reviews and resources.

See the original full description of Episode 2 at SF Signal.Įpisode 3: Discussion of Greg Egan’s “Crystal Nights” and Others A new reprint is now available from Peepal Tree Press. A ghost/thriller novel, it sparks discussions ranging from the craft of writing to expressions of racism and misogyny. Published in 1955, it is one of the classics of the Caribbean literary canon and a perfect start to any discussion of Caribbean speculative fiction. Lord first encountered this Mittelholzer ghost story in secondary school English Literature. See the original full description of Episode 1 at SF Signal.Įpisode 2: Edgar Mittelholzer’s My Bones and My Flute The first episode gives a little intro on what Burnham and Lord plan to do, and then they get into the meat of the matter, spending most of this first episode discussing “ Exhalation” and the collection Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang.
