Jo Walton:
I just finished reading "Among Others" and absolutely loved it! I was immediately struck by the industrial ruins that figure heavily. I was just wondering if you had a strict purpose with this symbolism (e.g. the decline of industry paralleling a national "loss of innocence") or it was more intended to simply evoke a mood? (Perhaps I'm overthinking it!)

Jo, after finishing Transcription by K. Atkinson I wished for a few paragraphs at least of Juliet’s happy discovery of Italy and enjoyment of motherhood, things you describe movingly in My Real Children. I read My Real Children shortly after readingLife After Life and I thought they enriched each other. Have you read Life After Life and do you think it is a work of SFF? (If MRC is, then LAL is IMO.)

I love Among Others, and I have written two blogs posts about it so far. It seems so unknown, and to me, that's a crime. I just rec'd it last week on a friend's blog. Hopefully that will bring it to more people's attention. My question is, what are you working on now? And do you have any plans for any more fantasy-centered works like Among Others?
