The Evolution of Science Fiction discussion

If you could meet any author and ask him or her questions that have been on your mind, who would it be (living or dead)?

Machado de Assis
I would ask him about his book Dom Casmurro. Did she or didn't she?
If you've read the book, you know exactly what I'm referring to.

hahaha Good question, Rosemarie. Probably he would answer: "I don't know", or "I don't care", or "What do you think?"

Or he would just smile and say nothing.

Maybe.

Dear Mary Shelly,
Did you think you created a new genre with Frankenstein? or do you see it as a continuation of existing genres and trends?

Ed, I wonder if Mary would’ve said the same thing at 25 that she would’ve later in her life? At 25, I suspect she might’ve said she was just having fun with Percy and George.

I would want to know both what she thought then, as well as what she (or her ghost) thinks today.
