C'est la question que SF Signal a posé à plusieurs auteurs. Parmi eux, Ian McDonald. Voici une partie de sa réponse :

| I’m interested in non-conventional narratives. Let films and TV do the conventional Hollywood 3-act narrative. Books can do different things, tell stories in different ways, can delight in unexpected ways, play games that other media cannot. Perhaps more than any other medium. I’d love to see an SFF that was more daring in its structure and approach. One of the novels I enjoyed most in the past couple of years was Christopher Priest’s The Islanders which told its subtle, playful story as a gazetteer of an imaginary world. It’s a book I’ll come back to because it holds so much more in it than a straight beginning-to-end linear narrative. Sometimes, it’s the journey, not the destination. Books are the art form most like a human life. A life isn’t a dash to find out what happens at the end. We all know what that is: the life ends, the book ends. SFF works where the pleasure is in spending time in them, noticing them, savouring moments: that’s a trend I would welcome. (...) The current trend for identity-informed SFF excites me; even moreso, that non-Anglophone SF is beginning to be seen and read in the West –in no small measure due to the efforts of Lavie Tidhar–here’s a link to online mag Indian SFhttp://indiansf.wordpress.com/ (though, with Indian Sf writers the Anglophone/non-Anglophone label is problematic –such complexities are to be welcomed). The mark of the true success of a trend or a trope is that it becomes incarnate in the body of the genre. Cyberpunk was painlessly Borged into the body SFnal –I look forward to the time when Standard Western characters, values, orientations, languages become the norm. |
