Interviews With The Fantastic
InterGalactic Interview With Max Gladstone
by Lawrence M. Schoen
Max Gladstone studied Chinese at Yale University, graduated, and went on to work in China as a
teacher and translator. His short fiction once earned him a finalist spot in the Writers of the
Future competition and he's been twice nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best
New Writer. Max's novel, Three Parts Dead, the first volume in the Craft Sequence, was
published by Tor Books in 2012, with subsequent books, Two Serpents Rise and Full Fathom
Five, coming out in each of the following years. That sequence of his Craft Sequence continues
this month, with the release of Last First Snow, the fourth book.
