looking at Reseune from Boskone
Feb. 19th, 2009 06:21 pmFriday evening at Boskone, there was supposed to be a panel on Cyteen and Regenesis. I think they scheduled it for Jo, because she was so exuberantly excited about Regenesis coming out, and wanting to talk to people about it. A couple of minutes before the panel was going to start, the panelists were gathering in the hallway, with one of them trying to explain why she really didn't feel comfortable talking about the subject.

Anyhow, Jo asked me to fill in, on the strength of a flip comment I made here a few weeks ago.
I've been intending to post comments on Regenesis for weeks, and having gotten my act together well enough to actually write them down. But that's nothing. I've been intending to post comments on Cyteen for YEARS. I've fallen so far behind on posting comments on things I read in 2005 that I've essentially given up on them. So it was kind of nice to have people interested in what I could come up with off the top of my head, rather than waiting for the right words at the right time.

I'm not sure if my comment about The Jewel In The Crown/The Raj Quartet counts as a spoiler (it might for sticklers.) Commentary refers to sexual abuse, among other things. If any of you are still with me: ( Read more... )
