Vandermeer's new column
Vandermeer, one of the new breed of writer-entrepreneurs made possible by the interweb, has a new column on HuffPo. On political fiction. One of the many things I love about the brave new world of not-entirely-print, not-top-down culture is that writers tend not to have to write down to a perceived lowest-common-denominator audience. The challenge for an artist needing to put food ion the table is being entrepreneurial about venues and audiences—you get that right, you hustle that, and you can write about what you want to write about.
