Exclusive Interview: “A Few Last Words For The Late Immortals” Author Michael Bishop

 

When a writer puts together a collection of their work, they often collect their best work, their most recent work, or work that all falls within the same genre. And they usually keep their own council. But with A Few Last Words For The Late Immortals (paperback, Kindle), sci-fi and fantasy author Michael Bishop not only worked with editor Michael H. Hutchins, but he started with the idea of collecting pieces based on length; Immortals includes short stories, poems, prose poems, and a play, none of which top 3,000 words. In the following email interview, Bishop discusses what inspired him to assemble this collection.

In the following email interview, Bishop explains what this series of stories is about, what inspired it, and whether he thinks this would be a good place to start exploring his impressive oeuvre.
