"Back in the early eighties when Nancy and I were both starting out, people would on occasion compare our work. I was flattered, of course. Although there were plenty of differences, there were enough similarities that such comparisons were not outrageous. For example, we were among the usual suspects when critics rounded up literary science fiction writers. We had taught and workshopped together, and I found myself agreeing with her analyses much more often than not. Our stories -- at least back then -- tended to emphasize character and the social impacts of change." --James Patrick Kelly (in the Afterword "Dancing with Nancy", Dancing on Air , US chapbook, August 1997).
"Nancy Kress lives in Brockport, New York." [publisher's bumpf, Beggars Ride , US hbk, November 1996]
"I have no scientific training whatsoever, and I deeply regret that. As a result, I have to research very hard and pick the brains of anyone who will hold still long enough. Microbiology fascinates me, and if I had my life to do over again, I would have paid attention to it much sooner." --Nancy Kress (in OmniVisions ,12 December 1996]
