Recently I had the great pleasure of reading Tim Powers’ latest novel,
Three Days To Never.
I also had the great pleasure of hosting an interview with the man himself, right here on JA.O.
But in looking around, I found a couple of additional interviews he did about the book, and I’d thought I’d pass them along for readers who are Tim Powers fans or who should be Tim Powers fans (which would be everybody).
Both of these interviews are conducted by people who know science fiction better than I.
THE FIRST IS WITH THE GOOD FOLKS AT SCIFI.COM
and
THE SECOND WAS CONDUCTED BY SCIENCE FICTION AUTHOR JOHN SHIRLEY.
I was pleased to see how much different material is brought out by the three interviews. Tim got asked questions that were different enough that each gives him a chance to say new and interesting things about the book, and about his writing in general, so I hope y’all’ll check ’em out.
Oh, and don’t forget to
I’ve read his short story collection “Strange Itineraries”, and it was enough to buy “Last Call”, “Anubis Gates”, “Declare” and “Three Days to Never”. Now to settle in with all of them!
In reading his short stories, one thing I came away with is the utter differentness. It is as if you need to step out of this world and enter fully into his just to understand.
I’ll read anything Tim Powers rights. His friend and co-writer James Blaylock writes less, but is equally other-worldly. Try him too.
I bought the book yesterday and will be starting it this week. 🙂
