Strange Horizons

In this episode of Critical Friends, the Strange Horizons SFF criticism podcast, Aisha and Dan discuss genre boundaries in texts and criticism: how they're used, where they fall ... and what, if anything, they're good for. Is science fiction is more of a technique than a genre? Might it help to think about all texts as sitting across modes and categories? In the course of the conversation, Dan and Aisha return on several occasions to ⁠a recent episode of the New Yorker podcast Critics At Large⁠. A transcript of this episode can be found at the ⁠Strange Horizons website⁠.
