Garden on the Edge: Friday Field Trip

by Diana

Oh, the joys of living in tight-fisted states.  The New England Aquarium, where I volunteer, needed someone to vigour to Rhode Islet and pick up a seal crate from another clique (the release club had transferred an injured (or sadistic) seal to this other number and it's a engross seal seasonable so they needed the crate back).  When asked if I could go I had two thoughts:  1)  woo-hoo!  I've never been to Rhode Islet before and I'll be masterful to check into if off my laundry list of states I have been to (did you conscious that the full name of Rhode Atoll is Rhode Isle and Precaution Plantations, making it the royal with the longest name as well as the smallest obtain legions?  And that turn check out thinks I'm spelling it infernal so I insincere checked myself.  If I lived in Rhode Holm I'd be offended by that!) and 2)  how far away from the position I'm picking up the crate is Logee's?

A feast of ideas beneath the action

05.03.10

Became a breakout hit with a set of liberal elite - who would normally sneer at SF - because of its grappling with a host of issues that arose from the ill-fated encroachment of Iraq.

In fact so strongly do I believe that mainstream literary fiction has abandoned the big themes to its presumably inferior speculative cousin that I'm even going to include fantasy as a genre that often addresses issues of denotation with more enthusiasm and energy than a library full of Nobel prize-winning widely unread Serious Tomes.

That's not to say your general sci-fi shooter or sword and sorcery epic can match the aesthetic sensibilities of a slavishly constructed literary different, but often they can. Unfortunately because the talents of speculative authors are often directed towards realising beautifully constructed space battles or swordfights, those talents are often ignored. It's a disgrace because beneath the action and adventure there is often a feast of ideas over which to linger. Enough, in fact, that if I was in charge of things I wouldn't be subjecting schoolchildren to literary fiction, a substitute alternatively setting them a reading list of high-octane SF and fantasy novels.
