Kevy looks unconfortable but yet tries to look happy

“This tutoring is dialectical. Literature makes us better noticers of life; we get to practice on life itself; which in turn makes us better readers of detail in literature; which in turn makes us better readers of life. And so on and on.” - James Wood
Lisan...I'm shocked and appalled that you would comment on her size.
Woman. Bends. Light.
(I think the reason Kevvy looks so uncomfortable and the fruit lady is smiling so big is she's just given him a wedgie before 'Becca snapped the picture. )

Uncomfortable. Kevy always looks that way, particularly in interviews for his Dune books. He must know, deep inside his psyche, that he is at best distorting and at worst destroying yet another writer's universe.

I think, right before the shutter closed, she told him that his nuDune books are crap and that she doesn't believe there are any "notes."
"Anything I write will be remembered and listed in bibliographies on Dune for several hundred years ..." — some delusional halfwit troll.
The man has such a microscopic grasp of Dune ... it just doesn't add up.
One (half-serious) guess: he reads like he writes. Which is to say: as quickly as possible, with no regard for detail, and never, ever going back to look something up.

Another way he reads like he writes: He prefers to dictate into tape recorders, AND he seems to prefer audio books! I'd call him a douche-bag but that would be an understatement.
And that whole bit about re-reading Dune, and how he says he does it once a year... It's like he's responding to our complaints...
Maybe he was like "Dammit Brian, these guys are right... I think we've forgotten Dune. Okay, let's read it again so we get things right, and these people will stop posting negative Amazon reviews..."

That was his wife...I'm seeing where it all comming from now.
He's obligated by Law to love her, so he's taking out his anger on his own body. That sick, sick individual...
HOWEVER, that is no excuse to trash the greatest Science Fiction book of all time. We don't care about your problems at home, Kevin James Anderson. You don't like the thick folds and sluggish movements? Then use all the money you got whoring DUNE out and get her some damn LIPOSUCTION!
Dune for the Holidays
Now that I've been home for a week, enjoying my own home, my own pets, and sleeping in my own bed, I'm catching up on a lot of loose ends.
One of my most enjoyable projects is to reread Frank Herbert's original DUNE (which I do just about every year). I have no idea how many times I've read it, but each time it holds up as a true classic, and I see more and more cross-connected details. I have listened to the unabridged DUNE on audio in four different versions -- the current edition from MacMillan audio is excellent, if you would like to have someone read the novel aloud to you.
For those who missed seeing me and Brian on our recent signing tour, The Signed Page still has a few autographed copies of PAUL OF DUNE available for sale -- some of them signed by cover artist Stephen Youll as well.
Brian is in the midst of the fourth edit of JESSICA OF DUNE, and I'll receive it back from him around December 15. The current schedule is to have JESSICA in stores this coming August, back to our regular schedule (PAUL was released in September 2008). Stephen Youll has already sent us the cover image and -- as usual -- it's a real grabber. We'll show it off here as soon as it's ready.

I'll hvae to look vback anc find whrer I read that - keiths blog somewhere.
ok but on the other hand, that should keep the hate fresh and rolling. espcially now that htey're inserting these things INTO Frank. maybe if they waited a year you people would kinda lose interest and wander off.
boys, I just keep seeing that shelf after shelf after shelf of Star Wars books at the mall - I still get very sad. years ago before all this started and all the reprints of Frank's Dune Iused to love to haunt old used bookstores looking for old copies - hard to find and agreat conversation starter with the little girls - yeah, hi, I'm looking for Frank Herbert's Dune -- what ? you've never read it ? oh well, let me tell you a little about it....

Many of you know that I do most of my original writing while I'm out hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains near my home.
My brother-in-law Tim and I have climbed all 54 of Colorado's peaks higher than 14,000 ft and we've hiked more than three hundred miles of the Colorado Trail. Along the way I have dictated my half of eleven DUNE novels, all seven "Saga of Seven Suns" books, Slan Hunter, and numerous other projects.
This year, Tim and I have produced a beautiful full-color calendar with our own photographs as well as original writing, personal stories about our experiences in the mountains. Though we created it as a special gift for friends and family, we printed and autographed a limited quantity of the calendars, which I can offer to fans. These are large-format (11 X 17) on heavy paper, full color, spiral bound. You can order a copy direct from anderzoneshop.com (along with some other unique collectible items that may be of interest to fans).
Just $24.99!
WHAT THE FUCK DOES ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DUNE OR DUNE NOVELS OR THE FUCKING DIMWIT HERBERT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP?!
Bunch of idiot dupes.... Why else would they let him do this shit?
