An Interview with Andrew Hickey

Post date: Jul 09, 2011 7:11:14 AM

Andrew Hickey's An Incomprehensible Condition: An Unauthorised Guide To Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers is due for release tomorrow (Sunday 10th July), and to mark the occasion he kindly agreed to be interviewed by Deep Space Transmissions about it. Taking in subjects as diverse as quantum information theory, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Pygmalion and black and white minstrel shows, Andrew's book is, like Seven Soldiers itself, both erudite and entertaining in equal measure.

You can join Andrew down the Seven Soldiers rabbit hole by buying his book, as a download or old-fashioned paper-style, at an eminently reasonable price from Amazon or Lulu. While you're there, you should buy a copy of his Sci-Ence! Justice Leak! book too, covering as it does fictional 'canon', Grant Morrison's concept of Hypertime, parallel universes and Harry Potter fanfic.

Since completing the book, Andrew has also been asked to join the internet's premier crew of psychedelic comic-book Brainiacs, The Mindless Ones. Keep an eye out there in future for more of his incisive funny book commentary.

And now, on with the show, good health to you...
