Or maybe the quiz thing is cleverer than it looks.
This in spite of the fact that there were three or four questions to which I wanted to answer something else.
By the way, I'm compiling a list of sf for a fifty-something lover of Henry James and Willa Cather who has never read science fiction and is only interested in reading it because I write it (we are not close: we just met walking dogs at the park). I've been putting in people who have a kind of "realistic" flavor, and who write a lot about relationships and the consequences of social structure. I'm trying to leave out the ones I like that depend on a lot of science fiction background or that are very fantastical in style. Suggestions? Especially for male authors, for balance, as I seem to not remember very many which fit all the requirements?
