- This video is an interview with Lois McMaster Bujold, an American speculative fiction writer. She is an acclaimed writer, having won the Hugo Award for best novel four times, as well as Nebula Awards. In this interview, she talks about her Penric Series, just reprinted by Baen Books, as well as her Vorkosigan series. She has somewhat retired from writing unless a great idea hits her, but she has some great thoughts on writing and some of its' challenges.
Miles and his crew, they got me through some tough times. Thank you for sharing.
I too LOVE the characters- but that said, I admire Lois' world building very much as well
The characters are brilliant, but I must say that the worldbuilding never seems flimsy or false, the worlds are always very natural, very fitting.
So, while the worlds don't outshine the people, the worlds support the stories wonderfully.
I have read almost everything Lois McMaster Bujold has written, and have to say they are always good-great-fantastic, always worth the money.
Thank you for this interview!
I met Miles in the mid-1980s, through my father's Analog magazines. I sort of grew up in parallel with Miles, sharing these with my father. The last thing we read together, before the pandemic, was with Pen and Des. I read it to him, as he'd lost the ability to follow a story on his own when reading, due to dementia. He was very fond of Pen and Des, because he recognized them as friends to each other (and to him), and friends were always important to him, more so as his memory faded.
He died in a nursing home with dementia, from COVID, in early 2021. I am very glad I could continue to share these stories with him through virtual visits, and that he had such pleasure from the time he spent with these friends.
Thank you for your writing. It was a bond between me and my father for decades. And I still think of him when I go to re-read.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope these memories of shared books helps.
Your work has meant so much to me since my first encounter with Miles. Since then, I've read everything you've written. Thank you.
A strong and wise woman! Low bow, for incredible books 🇺🇦! The Saga of the Vorkosigans is a masterpiece; a unique thing is an attempt at a multipolar view of the values of civilization
A lovely interview. Thank you.
This is a good interview. Sadly, although I fancied writing fiction since childhood, storytelling never came naturally to me, and I’m probably too old to start now. However, if I tried it, I think I'd find this interview educational and helpful on the subject of the writing process. I know that different processes suit different writers, but the process described here is clearly one valid way of doing it; and it has produced a whole bunch of books that I’m fond of and reread regularly.
P.S. That song the Lakewalkers sang about two lovers made me wonder if Dag and Fawn would fulfill that prophesy, if prophesy it was.
I hope for new books, but I understand at this point it may or may not happen. I am content with what I have for now.
Why why why and why Hollywood still didn’t made any movies??? They made movie on absolutely stupid novel about sand and worms… you know… and enders end… but nothing from her rich world of barrayar - anyone can answer it please? God bless you Ms. Bujold! Your novels are the best - period!
I want to read those 5 chapters of Ivan's book that she threw out. 🙃
