Joe Haldeman and The Forever War
October 11 @ 1:00 pm
The Forever War, Joe Haldeman’s 1974 novel and the first sci-fi work shaped by the Vietnam War, continues to resonate decades later. Haldeman, a Vietnam veteran and Iowa Writers’ Workshop alum, crafted a story that John Scalzi calls “timeless, because what’s in the book touches on something that never goes away.” Join Haldeman, his wife Gay, Scalzi, and Haldeman’s former student Mike Miller as they discuss this landmark novel and ICON, Iowa’s beloved science fiction and fantasy convention, which marks its 50th anniversary this year.
