21. Connie Willis
Brief biography written by the New England Science Fiction Association.
http://www.nesfa.org/boskone/b36/b36pb/conniewillisii.htm
(Return to Boskone 36 Program Book) Connie Willis by Deb Geisler Mention Connie Willis to the average SF reader, and they will probably think of her Hugo and Nebula Awards, or the John W. Campbell Award she won for her first novel, . They will think of her vivid writing, her wit, and her piercing evaluations of social movement excesses. But there is a lot more to Connie Willis than her fiction. She loves the soap opera All My Children (she’s been an avid viewer since it started). She watched the entire O.J. Simpson trial. She sings soprano in a Congregationalist choir, and claims that everything you need to know about the world "can be learned in a church choir." And she’s much in demand as a speaker and program participant at conventions, making a notable (and much-acclaimed) appearance as the Toastmaster at L.A.con III in 1996. Kristin Lavransdatter ("Nobody’s ever heard of her, even though she won the Nobel prize in 1920, but her books are wonderful"). She has heroes: "Fred Astaire is my hero. I love him because he was willing to kill himself to make his art look effortless. And because he proved it’s possible to be an artist and a good person," she told SF Weekly [http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue17/interview.html] "[Robert] Heinlein is probably the biggest influence on my writing," she noted in an August 1998 online chat with Gardner Dozois [available at http://www.cybling.com/artists/awillis.html]. "I love his sense of humor, his down-to-earth approach to the future, and his clever plots."

I'm just mad about Connie
Written: Nov 03 '99
Product Rating: Pros: Great writing, great stories.
Cons: Not many.
SeanK's Full Review: Willis, Connie To say I'm mad about Connie Willis is a bit of an understatement. In the space of one book To Say Nothing of the Dog Ms. Willis went from "Who's that?" to my favorite SF author. Why? you ask.
Connie Willis writes what some folk would call "literary science fiction." She doesn't write space operas or half-baked media rip-offs. Instead she writes funny and intelligent stories about people in a science fiction environment. The story, "Fire Watch," from her collection of the same name is a perfect example. It's the first of her time travel stories and in it a student historian who is an expert on the biblical-era St. Paul is sent to St. Paul's Cathedral in 1940, apparently due to a bureaucratic mix-up. As part of his final exams at Oxford he must help to save the cathedral from destruction by Nazi bombs during the Battle of Britain. Along the way, our student learns the true value of history and we are provided with a story that may be called science fiction but is better written and a better read than most stories published in literary magazines nowadays. She's won more awards than any other science fiction writer in the history of the genre.

Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier. But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity to put things right not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself. From the inside cover of the hardback: On the surface, England in the summer of 1888 is possibly the most restful time in history lazy afternoons boating on the Thames, tea parties, croquet on the lawn and time traveler Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling back and forth between the 21st century and the 1940s looking for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's only the latest in a long string of assignments from Lady Schrapnell, the rich dowager who has invaded Oxford University. She's promised to endow the university's time travel research project in return for their help in rebuilding the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years before.

Connie Willis labored five years on this story of a history student in 2048 who is transported to an English village in the 14th century. The student arrives mistakenly on the eve of the onset of the Black Plague. Her dealings with a family of "contemps" in 1348 and with her historian cohorts lead to complications as the book unfolds into a surprisingly dark, deep conclusion. The book, which won Hugo and Nebula Awards, draws upon Willis' understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering and the indomitable will of the human spirit.

See all Editorial Reviews To Say Nothing of the Dog
Connie Willis December 1998 Mass Market Paperback Book Review To Say Nothing of the Dog is a science-fiction fantasy in the guise of an old-fashioned Victorian novel, complete with epigraphs, brief outlines, and a rather ugly boxer in three-quarters profile at the start of each chapter. Or is it a Victorian novel in the guise of a time-traveling tale, or a highly comic romp, or a great, allusive literary game, complete with spry references to Dorothy L. Sayers, Wilkie Collins, and Arthur Conan Doyle? Its title is the subtitle of Jerome K. Jerome's singular, and hilarious, Three Men in a Boat . In one scene the hero, Ned Henry, and his friends come upon Jerome, two men, and the dog Montmorency inyou guessed ita boat. Jerome will later immortalize Ned's fumbling.

SUMMARY Connie Willis has won more awards than anyone else in SF and fantasy for her work. Her skill is convincingly reinforced in this novella that combines such disparate subjects as chaos theory, sheep-raising and true love. Willis slyly lampoons society's herd mentality as she weaves the tale of a statistician and a scientist whose collaboration produces hilarious results, and may lead them to the stunning breakthrough for which they've been searching.

Connie Willis Biography
Writer
Author Connie Willis has been winning science fiction awards since the late 1980s, including Hugo Awards for the novels The Doomsday Book (1992) and To Say Nothing of the Dog (1998). Influenced by novels of Victorian England and the science fiction of Robert A. Heinlein , Willis began writing full-time in the early 1980s, starting with short stories published in sci-fi magazines. She won the Hugo and the Nebula in 1983 for the novelette Fire Watch , and since then has been a regular winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. Although her books involve some sci-fi elements (especially time travel), she is more known for psychological dramas that mix farce with fantasy. Her short stories include "Even the Queen' and "Close Encounter"; her novels include the John W. Campbell Memorial Award winner Lincoln's Dreams (1987), the tongue-in-cheek fantasy
