Les projets de James Patrick Kelly

[jerome]

Sur quoi travaille James Patrick Kelly (l'auteur de Fournaise chez nous) ?

voici sa réponse en anglais.
SFScope: What do you think you have coming out in the future? What kind of projects are you planning? Are there any more novellas out there, or even a novel waiting to be written?
Kelly: Most immediate on my plate is a sequel that I have already begun to "Men are Trouble". Because I am very much an aficionado of Raymond Chandler, it took me a long time in my career to actually write a story that was an homage to him. I reread the entire Chandler oeuvre every five or six years. As a matter of fact, I've read his letters, I've read his notes, and I'd read his checks, if I could get my hands on them.

SFScope: You sound like a stalker, Jim.

Kelly: Yeah, I know! But he's dead, so he doesn't mind. I'm sure that wherever he is in the Cosmos, he's happy that he has a fan as devoted as I. So, I was really happy with the reception that "Men are Trouble" got. I have another story that involves the main character Fay Hardaway, which I'm in the middle of writing at the moment.

I also have in my head maybe some more to do about "Burn" and the world of "Burn", the thousand worlds, and maybe Chairman Winter. I'm not really sure.

The other thing I should say is one of the stories in this collection, a short story called "Mother", is actually a chapter from a novel that I have had underway for lo these many years, maybe fifteen years now, which I go back to from time to time. It's sort of a… I guess you would say it's a comic, cyberpunk, alien first encounter novel set in New Hampshire. If you want a taste of that book, which I have twenty thousand words of (I don't know why I'm stopped on it because I know what happens next. It's a thing that, when I looked at my own process, it's a puzzlement to me. Nonetheless, I intend to someday finish that novel), "Mother" is a piece of it.
