s04e09 | Writing Fantasy, Making History: On Craft & Communism | with Steven Brust

In this convervsation, Steven Brust (@StevenBrust on twitter) and I speak about writing—how plot is like a magic trick—how the the imagination and blind luck builds worlds, and then we speak about his parent's involvement in Minneapolis unionization politics over the course of the 20th century.  Steven has so, so many books. I suggest the Vlad Taltos series, but a couple great one-offs are Agyar and Brokedown Palace.  Here's a link to his amazon page: https://amzn.to/3BamRza   Support this channel: https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce Read my writing: http://bit.ly/aliastodream   https://www.patreon.com/benjaminboyce
