Letter: Science friction

Published 12 September 2007

From Harry Harrison

You write “Rebecca Goldstein has received numerous awards for fiction and scholarship” (25 August, p 46) Here is one more: the Blind Spot Award. In her entire article on science in fiction she never once mentions science fiction.

Perhaps she feels that “literary fiction” is what she writes. I guess we science fiction writers just aren’t literary.
