(...) _Ender's Game_ isn't intended as (nor does it come off as) comedy. You'd have to actually read the book(1) to see why the premise of child warriors, in context, isn't nutty at all. The author does a pretty good job of setting the stage for why (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I haven't previously read much of Salon, so I can't speak to complaints about its overall style, but I agree that--as a straightforward interview--this one is lacking. However, it *is* an interesting exploration of several forms of textual (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Oh yeah, and those of you who don't know Card, read him! Especially the Ender books that are mentioned in this interview piece. They're really fantastic books. Chris (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) As far as a quality interview, I guess that I think it's par for the course. As far as a piece of writing, I found it _really_ good! I thought her running internal dialog was fascinating. What per se did you think was wrong with it? I (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Pretty sorry stuff as far the interviewer goes. She needs to get her head out of... As far as the author, Mr. Card, I have no clue who he is but judging from the explanations of some of his stories, the guy is either a complete nutcase or total (...)

It's more of a debate than an interview. Two people who can't define their terms cover ground rapidly while discovering how much they dislike each other. I found the remarks by Card to be in character for him, a character I've paid attention to (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Agree wholeheartedly! She tells how she attempts to get the answers she wants, and complains when she doesn't. Although it's interesting that she actually recognises this & documents it. The interview would probably look a lot better if all (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(URL) I think that is about the most self serving piece (and worst interview) I've ever seen in Salon...(1) IMHO this interviewer epitomizes much of what's wrong with american journalism in one nice neat package. Agree/disagree?(2) 1 - which is very (...) (23 years ago, 18-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I heard about this on the radio here in the UK. Parallels where drawn with this case which was settled out of court between Hirsts and Humbrol: (URL) was inferred that Humbrol’s case would have been thrown out of a US court. Scott A (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
