  The SF Site Featured Review: Dogged Persistence
Kevin J. Anderson was born in 1962 and was raised in Oregon, Wisconsin.
Many of Anderson's stories, such as "Fondest Memories" or "New Recruits," incorporate protagonists who have their faults to the extent that it is difficult for the reader to sympathize with them.
While Anderson's introductions are interesting and provide insight into the reasons Anderson wrote each story and what he was attempting to achieve, at times they are a little to explicit and reading them will alter the view a reader has of the actual story.

 Review | Dogged Persistence by Kevin J. Anderson
There are, according to Anderson and Rusch, two kinds of writers: whiny, artsy authors who, at most, publish one short story a year in obscure academic journals while complaining about the popularity of bestsellers, or prolific, hard-working professionals who publish in popular markets and make good money.
Anderson and Rusch try to intimidate readers into liking Anderson's fiction by suggesting rather strongly that to dislike Anderson's work is tantamount to the sin of voicing support for pretentious writers who hold their commercially successful colleagues in contempt.
Anderson's fiction is filled with his own ego, with his conviction that he has lessons to impart.
