“At heart, I’m writing my stories: the stories I wanted to read as a child, the adventures in space where I don’t have to feel excluded; the fantasies where you can be small and dark-haired and Asian and still be a hero.”

I’m overrepresented in SFF, myself, but I don’t want to keep reading the same story over and over again, either. I want stories that help me understand what it’s like to be someone different from me.

Tolkien as European imperialism isn’t news; however, maybe it’s time it was history.
