I’ve presented a short film at Cannes (an autobiographical piece, “The Fantastic Bus”), won a Canadian Screen Award (the equivalent of the Canadian Oscars; is that worth mentioning?) and had a Top-10 documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival, “Sol”, about an Inuit circus performer who died in RCMP custody.

D.R. Schoel and 284 other people liked Manny's review of Consider Phlebas (Culture, #1): "Many discerning readers, even ones who like SF, will reflexively sneer if you say the dreaded words "space opera". One need only think of E.E. Doc Smith, for a long time the unquestioned king of this particular sub-genre. I read Galactic Patrol when " Read more of this review »

D.R. Schoel answered Goodreads's question: How do you get inspired to write? Going for long walks... but not worrying if inspiration doesn't come. If you sit in front of the page, enough times, and make it a habit, it will come.

D.R.’s Quotes

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
