What do people want me to ask Jo Walton about?

I'm interviewing her in a bit over a week.

"Heinlein: Deeply clueless and trying about equality, or just putting on a good act?"

[nancylebov.livejournal.com]

She's said that Heinlein knew feminism was going to happen, but failed to imagine what it would actually look like.

You could ask her about why she doesn't like most contemporary YA fiction, and perhaps raise some examples and why they don't work for her.

My answer is already on record.

She is very good at holding up her end of a conversation. You'll do just fine.

If you become truly desperate, ask her to recommend a good diner in Chicago.

Which Hugo winners of the last decade does she think will hold up and which will be sent to the dustbin with They'd Rather Be Right?

Ask her to talk about something that has been interesting her lately - her choice of which something.

[snippy]

She talked a lot when I asked her what the protagonist of "Among Others" would be reading now, she liked that question.

IIRC my reply to that question started "Wait, what year is it now?"

Let's just talk about you! It would be so much more entertaining!
