Interviews With The Fantastic
InterGalactic Interview With Walter Jon Williams
by Lawrence M. Schoen
Walter Jon Williams writes what he wants, refusing to stay in one place for long, the very
definition of what Mike Ford referred to as "subgenre-busting." Regardless of whether he's
writing interstellar intrigue or Elvis-celebrating farce, near-future political thriller or geomantic
fantasy disguised as SF, the common trait in all his work is storytelling. Not for nothing has he
been referred to as the Master of Plot, a talent and skill that he generously shares with no
shortage of eager acolytes who have climbed the mountain (sometimes quite literally) to learn
from a writer who has repeatedly reinvented himself to survive more than three decades in this
business.
