Does every New York Times bestselling author get profiled in the paper? Somehow I doubt that, so it’s surely a feather in his cap for Redshirts author John Scalzi to be interviewed about his novel in the July 6 edition. Being entertaining, funny, and yes, even vulnerable in the pages of the Times, as he is here, never hurt anyone’s sales, either – they might have to write about him again pretty soon.
