The Art of Collaboration (Fred Pohl & Jack Williamson

This is exactly what it says on the tin: a 1977 lecture by Williamson and Pohl on collaboration.

Their political differences get mentioned a few times. I have to admit I never particularly thought of Williamson having politics.

This got delayed because one of my earbud thingies died and the combination of Williamson's accent and soft spoken ways meant I needed both to have any hope of understanding him.

Likewise; Williamson's politics, whatever they were, didn't come through his stories in the sort of hamhanded way that, e.g., RAH's did.

Of course, RAH is in turn subtle compared to the current Mil-SF crowd...
