All you Wild Cards fans out there... and those of you who will be (we hope) soon... should head over to Tor.com and meet the newest ace in the WC universe. The Recycler hails from the slums of Rio, and we think you're going to like him as much as we do ( Read more... )

tor, wild cards, short stories

I envy that you get to work at a place I wish i could visit, if i wasnt on the east coast.

The Jean Cocteau sounds like a place I would frequent and probably spend too much time at the bar, drinking and talking.

I also envy that you get to work at an establishment owned and overseen by someone as interesting as GRRM himself.... interesting none the less.

please feel free to correspond with me about anything you wish. I like random conversation. If you prefer not to, thats fine too but how will I know if you would say yes and message me if I dont put the offer out there.

Thanks Ogre Jenni, for spreading the word on GRRM's behalf. If only I could also be a minion of GRRM's.. ah the life!

ps: i leave the comment here because the post you actually posted did not have a 'leave a comment' option.

As a brazilian myself, I'm always eager to see stories set in Rio, even though I'm not a carioca, I understand it's the city most foreigners will have heard about, now, what I found tiring in the story was the constant use of portuguese words mixed among the english ones. Some of them, like Curinga instead of Joker, I completely understand, but I don't see the need to use bandidos and traficantes instead of bandits and drug dealers.
Also, considering how most brazilians treat homossexual people, I'd say that the treatment to jokers would be worse than what is described here.

Tje jewish culture magazine Tablet just ran a piece by me about your story in "Aces Abroad" which takes place in Jerusalem and how it's still painfully relevant.

Hi George, how are you?
When will you come to Brazil? Is truth that will be in 2017?
I'm your fan and I love so much a song of ice and fire.I appreciate your work.

Have a good weekend!

How does an author get a Wild Cards story published? Is it by invitation only?

Re: Curious grrm April 20 2016, 19:24:06 UTC

yes.
