Do you find any confluence between your scholarship in that field and your writing? It was as if her life was on hold, the real part yet to get under way.
It always felt a little off-a little wrong-to come home to an empty apartment.
Nathan was certainly suited to being single (to Veronika’s eternal dismay). Some were better suited to being single than others. I had a chance to converse with Will McIntosh about his most recent work, Love Minus Eighty, which was recently named on NPR’s Book Concierge as Great Reads of 2013. In this Interview I ask McIntosh about his writing process, his fertile imagination, his tastes in literature and the wacky ideas that lead to his eminently enjoyable novels. It is rare to find such a congenial combination of humor, social criticism, futuristic vision, and imagination, all wrapped up in a tidy red ribbon of silky prose such as McIntosh delivers with each and every one of his novels. Those stories I read so long ago ended up being the foundation for his debut novel, Soft Apocalypse, a riveting, fast-paced story about a group of close friends who try to survive economic and political disasters that eventually destroy life as we know it.Įven before McIntosh won his Hugo Award in 2010, I sensed that he was on the verge of success. When I began teaching creative writing, McIntosh introduced himself and sent me to some of his stories, and immediately I could tell that he was an extraordinary undiscovered talent. He was, however, unlike many other amateurs, driven to succeed. A professor of Psychology at Georgia Southern University, McIntosh wrote on his spare time for fun and passion. Will McIntosh was a closet sci-fi writer for much of his life.
