Liza Groen Trombi: Wrapping Up

With that late entry from John Clute in (he was busy helping take care of Ellen Datlow in London), I’m wrapping up the long fiction section of 2008 Under Discussion—thanks to everyone who participated. We may have a similar moderated discussion on short fiction, with invited editors chiming in on the topic—we’ll have to see how that comes along. Either way, our contributors are now freed up to blog at will…

This was an experiment of sorts for us, the moderated discussion, loosely based on Slate.com’s Club format. While most have welcomed the blog and the launch discussion, we have clearly annoyed a few people by not conforming to their ideas of what we ought to be doing. I’m sure this blog will be many things in its time, and all in all I’m very pleased to have it up and running.

If you want to check out the official Locus Recommended Reading List, it is available in the February issue and online. Also in the print issue are summaries of the year, including descriptions of the works listed.
