Panel: The Inexplicable
Guest event run by John Bestoso
Time
Friday, January 23 beginning at 6:00 PM and running until 7:15 PM
Location
Sever 113 (Guide to Locations)
Short Description
Come hear Kim Stanley Robinson, Elizabeth Bear, Marie Brennan, and Catherynne Valante talk about the inexplicable in science fiction and fantasy.
Details
In some science fiction and fantasy stories, the characters encounter creatures or forces that are simply beyond them -- their power is immense and their motives unclear. In science fiction and fantasy, it is especially important that readers have something familiar and understandable to orient themselves in an unusual setting, so how does writing about something inherently incomprehensible contribute to the story?
