The Alain Lescart Podcast

fiction, science · EN

Alain Lescart writes award-winning YA fantasy — the Norwesis Chronicles, a series about a boy, a gnome, and a world where the sun itself can be put out.For most of his career he taught other people’s fantasy novels. A retired professor of French literature, science fiction, and the literature of the fantastic, and a contributor to the Dictionnaire de la Fantasy, he now writes his own.In each episode he opens up one corner of that work: the characters, the invented histories, the questions a book started from. Episodes cover the Norwesis Chronicles, The Yarn of the Carpet, the Candice Holloway adventures, and the science fiction novel Cybernicat — along with the story of how a professor became a novelist.Books and news at alainlescart.com.
