We Got Mail!

Among the dozen or so hate mails I’ve received this morning for not hating Barack Obama enough, here’s an email of support from a terrific writer, Tim Powers:

Hello, Charles —

This is just a brief note to counter some of the mail you’ve apparently been getting — I very much appreciate your robust sanity on issues like “hope Obama fails,” and creationism, and “Obama bowed to Abdullah!” and all the rest of the topics that make Conservatives look childish. We don’t need fantasies to validly oppose liberalism, after all.

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Tim

If you aren’t familiar with Tim’s work, he’s one of the most inventive fantasists in American literature, and I highly recommend his books. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Anubis Gates
The Stress of Her Regard
Declare
Three Days to Never
Last Call

 Frank says:

The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn't, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that's a bonus. -- What he's talking about is obvious. He said this in an interview with Playboy magazine on May 2, 1993.
