The Warlord of Saturn's Moons
A story by Eleanor Arnason, which imagines a science fiction writer struggling to finish a story while violence outside intrudes on her thoughts.
(“I think you could say they were travelers in time as well as space.”) In 1949, when Eleanor’s father accepted a position at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the family moved into Idea House II, where they remained until 1960. Set in a near-future dystopian Detroit, Arnason’s story imagines a writer working at home on a novel about a space-age heroine battling a “warlord’s minions” and trying to rescue her would-be lover. Most of the quotes by Arnason in the above introduction are from her interview with Terry Bisson, “At the Edge of Future,” included in the e-book publication of her 2010 novella, Mammoths of the Great Plains, or from her essay “On Writing Science Fiction,” published in Women of Vision(edited by Denise Du Pont, 1988).
