Matt, nice analysis of POV. Tomorrow X3 has POV shifts in scenes for similar broadening of perspective. Are you teaching another contemporary fiction class in the near future? If so, I’d like to audit remotely.
BTW, ASU has a fine deep space faculty and program, an excellent resource for SciFi writers.
Thank you! And I agree about Tomorrow: some really interesting POV there too. I don't have another contemporary fiction class on the books at ASU, but I'll be doing some community teaching for other organizations soon. I'll try to post here about those classes!
And agreed on the excellent space programs here! I work with some of those folks too, and I'm lucky to have them.
It is generous of you to share the reading list (and time consuming to link the books!) THANK YOU! I love to hear about how others teach classes and the materials they use. You inspired me for a Bradbury Trio course I teach to add an award winner week. I always gain something from your newsletter even if I don't comment all the time. Great work!

Thanks so much, Tammy! I'm so glad it's helpful, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me!
I love reading about fluid POV, especially in cases where the so-called rules are well-abused to spectacular effect. Thanks, Matt!
You're welcome, friend!
Great contemporary reading list! Thank you for sharing!
