James Enge, author of
Blood of Ambrose,
is interviewed by Mihir Wanchoo at
Fantasy Book Critic. The whole interview is well worth checking out, but here's one of my favorite bits:
I believe that the greatest danger to genre fiction nowadays is not the denial of respect from some notional group of literary tastemakers but the very real likelihood that sf/f may become respectable. Those who thirst for the foamy gray poison of respectability should consider the fate of jazz, once a popular medium, now respectable, ossified and ignored.
