33: What Is Literary Science Fiction? – A Conversation with JD Adler

JD Adler has been an EMT, a bartender, a ski lift operator, a bookstore manager, a cook, a reporter, a librarian, a haunted pub crawl guide, and a vagabond. He holds an MA in communication, writes poetry, fiction, and journalism, gives performances as an oral storyteller with the Suncoast Storytellers, and runs his own publishing platform. In this episode, we discuss how written and oral traditions differ and converge, what factors make a work of science fiction “literary,” and the roles that stories play in our cultures and lives.
