The SF Signal Podcast (Episode 094): Panel Discussion of International Authors
In episode 92 of the SF Signal Podcast, Patrick Hester asks our irregulars to weigh in on: International Authors!
Based on a recent Mind Meld post on SFSignal.com: Being a U.S. based blog (and podcast) we tend to focus on things American and/or British (basically – English language stuff). But there’s a whole wide world of SF out there that we don’t normally cover.
Who are your favorite International Authors and why?

I can’t believe that I didn’t invoke Murakami! D’oh!
There is so much out there in the way of great fiction from outside the Anglocentric Sphere of Literature! I could have talked a lot longer about it. . . and also my heretical notion that Gabriel Garcia Marquez has influenced some fantastika writers!
I especially regret not mentioning exiled Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong’o. “Wizard of the Crow” is just about the best novel that I read in the last five years.
And let me second John Stevens’ mention of Haruki Murakami above. I found “Hardboiled Wonderland at the End of the World” to be fascinating.
Karen:
Me too! How could I forget Thiongo’o!
I am shamefully underread as regards International authors. A bit of Australian, Britsh, and Lavie just doesn’t cut it…
Ack, should have waited until the end of the podcast. I loved Dictionary of the Khazars, John, and that counts…
