Jo WaltonI sat on the bench by the willows and at my honey bun and read Triton. There are some awful things in the world, itโs true, but there are also some great books. When I grow up I would like to write something that someone could read sitting on a bench on a day that isnโt all that warm and they could sit reading it and totally forget where they were or what time it was so that they were more inside the book than inside their own head. Iโd like to write like Delany or Heinlein or Le Guin.
Jo WaltonAvan was as religious as the next young dragon with his way to make in the world-which is to say that he held many traditional beliefs which he had never paused to examine, attended church because it would have seemed strange not to, rarely paid much attention when he was there, and found piety out of the pulpit thoroughly misplaced.
