Another enjoyable midday gathering put on by Michael Swanwick and Marianne Porter, and including in this round Samuel R. Delany on your left, then Tim Burke, Michael Swanwick, Stephanie Feldman, Sally Wiener Grotta, and Darrell Schweitzer. And of course Marianne as chef, and me safely hidden behind the camera. The Philadelphia Writers’ Brunch carries on a tradition begun by the late Tom Purdom.

Living Grand Master of Science Fiction (and Nebula Award winning author) Samuel R. Delany joins Oddcast this week to talk about his latest novel The Atheist in the Attic, about a meeting between philosophers Leibniz and Spinoza set during a frightening period in the history of the Netherlands. Along the way he reveals how one early major work of his was lost forever, and also how he came to be called “Chip”.
