Arthur, King of Time and Space

8/3/05

There's a review "book report" of Arthur, King of Time and Space on the website of a fellow Daily Grinder, Michael Payne. I think that's a first. Aside from being a Grinder, Michael also has irons in the Web Cartoonist Choice Awards and the SFWA Circulating Book Plan. That latter thing, as he notes, put me on the wrong foot with him from the start through no fault of mine; there's an awful lot of Arthuriana on the sf shelves these days, and it doesn't appeal to him, and consequently he's tired of it. But in the end he concludes that my story just doesn't move quickly enough for him, which on the one hand suggests despite his prejudices he judged my story on its own merits; but on the other hand strongly suggests that he missed all the spots on the site that state - and that he failed to infer - that I'm telling the story in realtime over twenty-five years. Have no fear that at the slightest opportunity I shall ask him whether that's the case and suggest that he look again in ten years. On the plus side, he compared my art to Jules Feiffer's.
