Galleycat reports on a panel at the Nebula Weekend (which I’m sorry I missed), in which apparently, former SFWA President Norman Spinrad and Tor’s Patrick Nielsen Hayden got into more than a slight disagreement.

(At the risk of being catty, I believe that Spinrad has had trouble recently selling the books he wants to write into the US market. Problems like that often make particular authors believe the market has shifted in detrimental ways, but…it’s often more the case that a particular writer never had a huge audience, and has moved in directions that the audience is not particularly interested in following. It would be wonderful if every book worth reading had a large and receptive audience clamoring for it, but that never has, and never will, happen.)
