The SF Site Featured Review: Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town Cory Doctorow deserves a lot of credit for writing a book like Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, because he could have written an easier book, a tamer book, a book that wasn't so goofy or passionate or so every which way, so loose. Doctorow goes even farther, applying the lessons of science fiction not to all things medieval and Tolkienesque, but to the slipperier streams of oddball contemporary fantasy, the landscapes of Kelly Link and Jonathan Lethem and R.A. Lafferty. The problem such a paragraph creates for Doctorow, though, as it would for any author, is to live up to it, and to continue providing. www.sfsite.com /11b/so212.htm   (835 words)

O'Reilly Network -- An Interview with Cory Doctorow Doctorow, then I expect to be reading about the tropes Card uses in Ender's Game and how fundamental tensions and inconsistencies arise from language in relation to the arguments laid out in the text. Mr Doctorow, you may at some point grow enough that you're able to set your own politics aside long enough and realize that writing literature that's any good, in any genre, is not possible for any length of time at 30 minutes per day. Doctorow's funny, clever, and inventive when he puts in the effort ("Down and Out"), but I get the feeling that's more of a rarity for him than a practice. www.oreillynet.com /pub/a/network/2005/03/04/corydoctorow.html   (3499 words)

I can see why he is sought to provide explanations to government officials about why copyright/ip law//freedom needs to be balanced and why the current media conglomerates are pushing to make it impossible for the natural evolution of art to take place. spilog.org /archives/2006/02/14/cory-doctorow-mit   (237 words)

When I told a few friends this week that I planned to write about Doctorow’s outburst, several indicated that I shouldn’t bother, more or less on the grounds that Doctorow deserves to be cut a bit of slack because his heart is in the right place.
