[links] Link salad is lost in time like tears in the rain

Asimov’s for April/May 2013 (3 of 3) - In which my novella "The Stars Do Not Lie" is held up as an example of bad fiction. (Honor is restored, however.) Proving once again that the story truly does belong to the reader.

The Telegraph on Sex - Cora Buhlert with a roundup on British commentary on literary sex scenes. Mmm, literature.

An interesting line in the piece on Card "The problem is that there is no separation of the artist from the art."

[jaylake]

A sentiment with which I disagree profoundly. Except I'm intellectually inconsistent when it comes to Card. His personal views are so offensive to any moral, thoughtful person that I cannot separate them from his work. Which is not to say I think he should be censored or banned, just that I elect not to contribute to anything which promotes his good name, either by reading his work, or by appearing in his markets such as IGMS.

Sort of like why I don't go to KKK rallies.

I'm similarly inconsistent. Card is one exception; Adam Baldwin is another (despite really, REALLY wanting to like him for the wonderful things he's done for fandom).

My problem with that piece on Card is that it claims that he has changed, when my understanding is that he has always held these positions.

> He would literally condemn people I love to death...

I'm trying to think of what you're alluding to here and coming up blank.
