All the Birds in the Sky

I'm the author of All the Birds in the Sky, and the forthcoming The City in the Middle of the Night. Plus a short story collection called Six Months, Three Days, Five Others, and a novella called Rock Manning Goes For Broke.I’m probably the only person to have become a fictional character in a Star Trek novel and in one of Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City books.I used to write for a site called io9.com, and now I write for various places here and there.I won the Emperor Norton Award, for “extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason.” I've also won a Hugo Award, a Nebula Award, a William H. Crawford Award, a Theodore Sturgeon Award, a Locus Award and a Lambda Literary Award.I have published a ton of short fiction – way over 100 short stories at this point. I’ve stopped counting. My stories have appeared in Wired Magazine, Tin House, Conjunctions, the Boston Review, Tor.com, Lightspeed Magazine, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, Tin House, ZYZZYVA, Strange Horizons, Apex Magazine, Uncanny Magazine, 3 AM Magazine, Flurb.net, Monkey Bicycle, Pindeldyboz, Instant City, Broken Pencil, and in tons and tons of anthologies. One year, I was in one of the Year’s Best SF anthologies and in Best Lesbian Erotica at the same time.I organize Writers With Drinks, which is a monthly reading series here in San Francisco that mashes up a ton of different genres. Every month, I make up weird fictional bios for the readers and performers, and nobody’s sued yet. Readers/performers at Writers With Drinks have included the aforementioned Armistead Maupin, plus Mary Gaitskill, Amy Tan, Rick Moody, Jonathan Lethem, Dorothy Allison, W. Kamau Bell, Luis Alberto Urrea, Ruth Ozeki, Ishmael Reed, Karen Joy Fowler, Maureen McHugh and just countless others. The SF Chronicle did a really nice article about Writers With Drinks.Back in 2007, Annalee Newitz and I put out a book of first-person stories by female geeks called She’s Such a Geek: Women Write About Science, Technology and Other Nerdy Stuff. There was a lot of resistance to doing this book, because nobody believed there was a market for writing about female geeks. Also, Annalee and I put out a print magazine called other, which was about pop culture, politics and general weirdness, aimed at people who don’t fit into other categories. To raise money for other magazine, we put on events like a Ballerina Pie Fight – which is just what it sounds like – and a sexy show in a hair salon where people took off their clothes while getting their hair cut.I used to live in a Buddhist nunnery, when I was a teenager. I love to do karaoke. I eat way too much spicy food. I hug trees and pat stone lions for luck. I talk to myself way too much when I’m working on a story.

CHARLIE JANE ANDERS’ novel All the Birds in the Sky, is in many ways a love story, but it’s not a particularly sunny one. The book, out this week, tracks two childhood friends as they discover their special powers—Patricia is a witch, Lawrence a (barely) time-traveling mad genius—and grow apart, only to find each other years later, after they’ve followed their respective paths. The sci-fi/fantasy world that the two live in is essentially the Darkest Timeline version of our own: cataclysmic climate change has led to famine, disease, and more than one nation on the brink of war.

读后感

第一次发现科幻小说还能这么写，甚至于我在读第二章的时候都以为我在看温馨的青梅竹马爱情小说呢，虽然本书里面有智能AI、也有变幻的女巫魔法，但我直到看完还是有点不确定，这真的不是爱情小说？我读书多你骗不了我，这就是一本爱情小说！所有的科幻也好、末日也罢，都是为了...  

2016年星云奖最佳长篇《群鸟飞舞的世界末日》（简称鸟书吧），战胜了 《三体3：死神永生》 。刚看完前20页，我就开始感叹，怎么可能超越三体3？如果各位看客和我一样充满疑惑，那么恭喜你，你不适合看这本书，不要不相信，本人已经经历过了。 小说最开始，一棵千年老树问了女主...  

过去从没读过科幻小说，理由基于两点，一是科幻小说创作，作者本人要很有丰富的想象力，而且想象力又要不落俗套，这点对创作者的要求颇高；二是阅读体验要好，文笔流畅。自从刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》火了后，开始了对科幻小说的关注。看到本书介绍，包揽了三大殿堂级奖项，决...

愿可随心，但持谦卑。——击败《死神永生》的作品，并非全无道理。

实在是……太无聊了，一半弃
