Inoculator9 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Here is the full interview:1) Do you believe living around such a creatively gifted family as yours has proven to be, has been an influence on your own writing skills and styles?Byron: I hope so! I spent many summers with my grandfather (Frank Herbert) before he passed away. He often read stories that I'd written and had given me pointers on characterizations, plots and prose. I talk to Brian Herbert (my uncle) frequently, too. He always asks me what I'm working on and gives me ideas and support. So, yes, it has influenced me tremendously. 2) What were your first impressions of your grandfather, Frank Herbert's Dune novels when you first read them?Byron: Mind blowing. It was unlike anything I'd ever read before. Reading Dune truly changed the way I looked at literature. I looked back at some of the previous novels I'd read and laughed at them after I'd finished reading Dune. It set the bar incredibly high for the science fiction genre (and the literary world in general). There are few novels that do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I enjoyed this interview and a Brian Herbert interview would be great, although a bit longer of time to submit questions would be nice. (as the last one was only up for 24 hours)Lots of good news seems to be coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
