Episode 296: Thomas Ha
from Eating the Fantastic Hosted by Scott Edelman
Chow down on Crunchy Pork Bao with Thomas Ha as we discuss why he's pro-ambiguity in his fiction (and how he decides when to use that tool), why there should never be only a single way to tell a story, how reading the fiction of Gene Wolfe changed his writing, why writers should resist the urge to educate those they feel misread their stories, how he knew he'd achieved critical mass with his short fiction and it was collection time, why a novel might not be in his future, the reason I thought his collection's foreword should have been an afterword (and what he thought about my logic), his secret formula for determining whether editorial suggestions make sense, the way where we read a story affects how we read it, the story of his which terrified me the most (and whether he could guess which one that was), plus much more.
