In short, you will probably be left wondering what the hell is going on for a little while, and that takes patience and commitment. There are a lot of terms the reader has to absorb – the klept, stubs, the jackpot, not to mention the idea of the peripheral, are only a few – as well as concepts associated with a different and unfamiliar world. His term, ‘homes’, from context, seems to refer to America’s Homeland Security, but it’s not until the final quarter of the novel that this is actually confirmed. Some terms are just Gibson’s winking joke: social media in Flynne’s near future is called ‘Badger’, for instance. But Gibson’s writing is fast paced, with little exposition, and with many names and terms which you need to learn from clues spread throughout the plot. That can be wonderful if you’re ready for it if you’re expecting to have to focus just a little harder for your guilty pleasure. ![]() Gibson has a reputation for throwing readers in at the deep end. I started Neuromancer years ago and found I didn’t have the patience, at that time, to immerse myself in Gibson’s world. I came to The Peripheral rather indirectly. This is despite Gibson’s reputation and his established importance to Science Fiction and cyberpunk after his first novel, Neuromancer. The Peripheral is the first William Gibson novel I’ve read. ![]() ![]() ![]() For whatever reason, she didn't come in on the first round," said Clements, and they knew they found the voice they were looking for.

You can read her writing for adults in her column for Catapult Magazine (Fear and Loathing in Utero), and her fiction on The Rumpus, Joyland Magazine, and Columbia Journal for Literature and the Arts. Clements said Ashman had very strong feelings about Ursula and how she should be played. Maggie Tokuda-Hall is the author of Also an Octopus, The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, and Squad. Some of the actresses and comedians who were in the running were New York stage actress Elaine Stritch and Charlotte Rae, but neither of them ended up being the right fit. "I don't know if she ever even knew we were interested, but animated films were not a big draw for star actors at that time." In a world divided by colonialism and threaded with magic, a desperate orphan turned pirate and a rebellious imperial lady find a connection on the high seas. "We heard her agent was upset that we somehow envisioned her as a witch," he added. But for whatever reason, we could not even get a meeting with her," said Clements of the "Golden Girls" actress. We would have brought in Beatrice Arthur even without auditioning her. ![]() There ended up being two separate rounds of auditioning that took about a year. The search to find the perfect voice for the sea witch wasn't that easy. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]() |
