Gary K. Wolfe reviews Kris Saknussemm's Enigmatic PilotFriday 15 April 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts
From Locus Magazine's April 2011 issue
The predominant tone, suggested by the book's subtitle, is that of the tall tale, with the improbable Lloyd -- still a small child at the novel's end -- emerging as a kind of folkloristic legend in an overstuffed but very colorful alternate America.

Shaun Tan: Alien ObjectsThursday 7 April 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's April Issue interview.
When you think about it, everything is quite alien. And that's why science fiction interests me so much, it's based in part on the suspicion that everything is quite arbitrary, that 'normal' and 'weird' are simply relative concepts.
