    Abstract:
    Kim Stanley Robinson, SF novelist of renown, has three marvelous trilogies: The Three Californias, Science in the Capital and, most celebrated of all, Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars. His honors include many Locus, Hugo and Nebulae awards. Small fact connecting him to RTB-land: he completed a literature PhD directed by Frederic Jameson with a dissertation-turned-book on the novels of Phillip K. Dick. Stan and John start out with Stan's emerging from the Grand Canyon in late March. Then they discuss Stan's sense that SF is the realism of the day and his take on "cognitive estrangement." Finally, they happen upon a shared admiration for the great epic SF poet, Frederick Turner.
