You always have much to say, Mr. Charlton. I'm looking forward to reading Spellwright even more than I was before. Regarding literary, excuse me Literary, acceptance of SFF, I think the genre is better off without it. With acceptance comes writers writing for the critics, something SFF has been blessedly free of for the most part. Writing with critics in mind equals stagnation and death. Just look at the current state of Literature. Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Faulkner it ain't. Finally got around to reading the interview and I’m glad I did. You always have much to say, Mr. Charlton.
