K. Tempest Bradford is hosting a roundtable (part 1 of 3) at Fantasy Magazine about People of Color in Genre Fiction. Meanwhile, there’s an interesting interview with Catherynne Valente about the way readers perceive (or don’t as the case may be) characters and race in her fiction. They’re both notable dicussions especially when you consider the biases and bad habits peculiar to the fantasy genre (why, why doesso much of it take place in a lily-white pseudo-England?)
