Ed Ferman, editor of F&SF, asked Malzberg for a Christmas story, and Malzberg produced this plot for Ferman in about 30 seconds. “I was then faced with the problem of going back and writing it, a problem now magnified because 95% of the work I have published was written in such a way and at such a speed that I literally did not know from sentence to sentence what was coming next.” – which also validates your criticism of his work sometimes being too rushed. “I think immodestly that I am helping to push this field to a level of literacy it deserves”.<br /><br />- matthew davisukjarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250028389206081742noreply@blogger.com
