The Corner

Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with science-fiction novelist Larry Niven, author of The Best of Larry Niven, a new anthology of his short stories. We discuss the art and craft of writing short stories, Niven’s belief in libertarianism and why there’s such a strong libertarian streak in science fiction, and Niven’s involvement in the early days of President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative.
