Shortly before I published my debut novel Wheatyard with Pablo D'Stair at Kuboa Press last year, he told me that he named the press after "kuboaa", a word Hamsun coined for Hunger. He said he did so because Hunger meant more to him than any novel in the world, both as a person and artist. Interesting what serendipity that novel seems to create.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107273328729752475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120527192121238373.post-36629191276024826132014-02-17T14:34:54.625-05:002014-02-17T14:34:54.625-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.riggsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645987624834480974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120527192121238373.post-34748486170116312562014-02-17T14:33:54.430-05:002014-02-17T14:33:54.430-05:00Alex, I just want to put in my 2 bucks (inflation...Alex, I just want to put in my 2 bucks (inflation) for my friend and world grand master of science fiction, Joe Haldeman.<br /><br />Joe was drafted and sent to Vietnam in 1968, was wounded and returned to the U.S., where he published a novel called _War Year_. On the basis of this publication, he was admitted to Iowa for the writers' workshop, where he wrote his master's thesis, a novel called _The Forever War_ (science fiction, but very obviously a result and processing of his Viet nam experience), which won both the Hugo and the Nebula awards.<br /><br />He has since been one of science fiction's most prolific and talented writers (now I sound like press copy or a blurb) who has written great short stories, novellas, and novels for the past 40 years.<br /><br />Furthermore, he has been teaching creative writing (of SF) for years at M.I.T. in the fall semesters; without the MFA from Iowa, this would not be available to him.<br /><br />I particularly recommend his novella _The Hemingway Hoax_, which is his homage to Hemingway, and his short stories "Seven against the Stars" (?) and "More than the Sum of His Parts."<br /><br />Don Riggs<br />riggsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645987624834480974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120527192121238373.post-1403097076705620492013-12-24T14:36:30.886-05:002013-12-24T14:36:30.886-05:00Actually, you couldn't prove it, but you could...Actually, you couldn't prove it, but you could demonstrate it.
