Writing about apartheid South Africa - why it's so hard.
It is well-nigh impossible to write about apartheid South Africa. I know, because I've tried, with The Witchdoctor's Bones and Rotten Peaches. And I have a short story coming up in the forthcoming anthology of the Mesdames of Mayhem's 2022 anthology, In a Land of Fear and Denial, about a young girl who believes there is a tokoloshe in her bedroom closet.
So I know how hard it is, to write about th Read more of this blog post »

"Possibly the funniest science fiction dystopia ever written. In this hypothetical future murderers are punished by being sent back in time to undo the murder, and it works to rehabilitate one of a half-dozen murderers, who...oh, read the book. And Ca"

“When hit by boredom, let yourself be crushed by it; submerge, hit bottom. In general, with things unpleasant, the rule is: The sooner you hit bottom, the faster you surface. The idea here is to exact a full look at the worst. The reason boredom deserves such scrutiny is that it represents pure, undiluted time in all its repetitive, redundant, monotonous splendor.
Boredom is your window on the properties of time that one tends to ignore to the likely peril of one's mental equilibrium. It is your window on time's infinity. Once this window opens, don't try to shut it; on the contrary, throw it wide open.”
