Finding Serenity
On the ferry this morning, I finished Finding Serenity - a collection of essays on Firefly, edited by Jane Espenson and including contributions by Jewel Saite, Mercedes Lackey, David Gerrold (the author of The Trouble with Tribbles).
Highly recommended for Firefly fans; not all essays were outstanding, but as a whole, the collection was an entertaining and thought provoking read. I particularly liked "Listening to Firefly," written by Jennifer Goltz - a professor of voice and music theory at Scripps. It thoughtfully teases apart Greg Edmonson's score, pointing out the sub-narrative the music presents.
Not all the essays were overwhelmingly positive - which made the collection even more valuable, and pleasantly upset my expectational apple-cart.
