A Queerer War
med Duncan Lawie, S. J. Groenewegen,
Tanya Huff, Ann Leckie
TH: All my characters are bisexual
unless I specifically state otherwise. Moderator: Did the military
setting change anything to that approach? TH: No.
(Roligt när moderatorn frågar TH om
hon skrivit något annat än militär-sf och hon börjar räkna upp.
När hon hållit på ett tag säger han ”OK, get it” och hon ”I'm
not done.”)
”It doesn't matter where the book is
set, it's where it's written from.”
AL: The stories we read affect how we
organise the world around us, and thereby how we treat each other.
Authors need to be true to themselves AND think about their
assumptions and angles, to SEE what they're doing. Fiction provides
the models by which we see the world. (Great power, with which comes
great responsibility.)
TH: When the ”war is a masculine
thing” comes up, my wife always says, ”Margaret Thatcher”.
Representation!!! The you-shaped door.
