Citation:

‘I consider the worldbuilding as fundamental to the story’s success as the language, the characterization, anything else. I want it to be so airtight that at every moment, no matter how outrageous the events or the aspects of that world, it feels real. I take pains with that. It’s never all that it could be, but I just don’t hold back with that ambition at all. That may also be a legacy of roleplaying. As the referee, the game master, you do try to rise to that challenge.”

Citation:

‘‘Mainstream writers could learn a great deal of humility from the amount of research that speculative fiction writers do. John Crowley takes more pains with his historical research than you could ever ask for – Connie Willis as well. And Michael Swanwick knew the Faust story and the history of that time in Central Europe brilliantly when he wrote Jack Faust. I have been blown away by the seriousness with which speculative fiction writers take on research. Their belief and intention and devotion to this world is humbling.”
