Ann & Jeff Vandermeer, noted theme anthologists, poke fun at themselves by announcing that their next project is Squidpunk!. However, they are outdone by the Locus article which claims that their next project is an anthology of Kincaidism.
Ann & Jeff Vandermeer, noted theme anthologists, poke fun at themselves by announcing that their next project is Squidpunk!. However, they are outdone by the Locus article which claims that their next project is an anthology of Kincaidism.
Jeff relates: "When Ann and I read Paul Kincaid's essay, 'A History of Today,' denouncing movements and manifestos in science fiction and fantasy, and implicitly trashing all the hard work we had done putting together our Pirate and Steampunk and New Weird volumes, we realized that he was really on to something. Something we could hitch our own stars to."
"Right," adds Ann. "We decided that maybe we had been a little too enthusiastic and faddish in our previous endorsement of these nebulous, over-hyped schools of literature. Maybe the best fiction was that which owed allegiance to no particular brand name."
