SWIMMING LESSONS

Fiction and Poetry Award Winner
In a speech as the recipient of Boston Globe-Horne Book Fiction Award for \"The Schwa Was Here,\" Neal Shusterman relates that the idea of writing the book suddenly came into his mind right in the middle of his presentation upon seeing a kid who was a human schwa--so unnoticeable that his teachers mark him absent in class, and so unnoticeable that he's functionally invisible. He laments that it seems in so many of his books he's grappling with the elusive nature of truth, which is like the moon--even when it's full, one's really only seeing one side.

Unreal Estate
Shusterman talks about speculative fiction as being not real. The only reason speculative fiction can sound prophetic is because the lens of the surreal can be so much clearer than a window. It can magnify specifics and help us to see what's hiding within a grander vista. At a bookstore event a few years ago, when the subject of predictive speculative fiction came up, one audience member shouted out, \"Can't you predict something happy for once?\" And so he took them up on the challenge. He decided to write a book about a pandemic of joy. A virus that, once you recovered, would leave you in a state of utter contentment and fulfillment for the rest of your life. And the funny thing was, the more he considered it, the less far-fetched it seemed. With All Better Now, he's exploring human nature again, because that seems to be an obsession with him. This time it's about the potential upheaval when human nature changes for the better.
