Extractions: Science fiction authors produce "Star Wars" like novels with no depth or philosophical meaning. Orson Scott Card differs from this stereotype. Although he creates novels that appeal to a wide audience using the usual science fiction appeal, Card uses his novels to weave in his own religious and philosophical beliefs. The teachings from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides the basis for the beliefs portrayed in his novels (Collings, "Approach"). Although the problems the characters face are fictional, they tackle real moral dilemmas (Mallory, OSC). Card's books Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead deal with issues of good and evil, ruthlessness and compassion, the cycle of sin, guilt and redemption, and the damaging effect of lies. Ender's Game is the source of all of Ender's sins for which he later searches for repentance. The brutal tactics that he adopts, and the "Xenocide" (term used in his novels meaning the genocide of a foreign people) of an entire race heave Ender into an inner struggle to reconcile his role as a "military savior". Although in comparison, Game has less depth than Speaker, Game still contains more underlying issues than most other science fiction novels. Ender's inner struggle is dealing with guilt that his actions have caused. Although Ender was regarded as a savior for the destruction of the bugger home world, he feels he is the greatest criminal ever known, and has become even more ruthless and violent like his brother, Peter. With the creation of his book entitled "Hive Queen and the Hegemond", he proclaims himself a villain, to the very people who tried to make him a hero. Ender then retreats from the rest of humanity because he believes himself to be unworthy of them ("Response").

[It] was written and sold. I knew it was a strong story because I cared about it and believed in it. I had no idea that it would have the effect it had on the audience. While most people ignored it, of course, and continue to live full and happy lives without reading it or anything else by me, there was still a surprisingly large group who responded to the story with some fervency. Even if there's no such thing as free will, we have to treat each other as if there were free will in order to live together in society. Because otherwise, every time somebody does something terrible, you can't punish him, because he can't help it, because his genes or his environment or god made him do it, and every time somebody does something good, you can't honor him because he was a puppet, too. If you think that everybody around you is a puppet why bother talking to them at all? Why even try to plan anything or create anything, since everything you plan or create or desire or dream of is just acting out the script your puppeteer built into you.

Extractions: "Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next village are as human as ourselves, it is presumptuous in the extreme to suppose we could ever look at sociable, tool-making creatures who arose from other evolutionary paths and see not beasts but brothers, not rivals by fellow pilgrims journeying to the shrine of intelligence. Yet that is what I see, or yearn to see." Orson Scott Card Speaker for the Dead O rson Scott Card's accomplishments are well known in science fiction circles: Card was the first writer to win the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel two years in a row ( Ender's Game Speaker for the Dead , its sequel, 1987).

Orson Scott Card offers a Christmas gift to his millions of fans with this short novel set during Ender's first years at the Battle School where it is forbidden to celebrate religious holidays. The children come from many nations, many religions; while they are being trained for war, religious conflict between them is not on the curriculum. But Dink Meeker, one of the older students, doesn't see it that way. He thinks that giving gifts isn't exactly a religious observation, and on Sinterklaas Day he tucks a present into another student's shoe.

Extractions: BIO Nobody had ever won the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel two years in a row, until Orson Scott Card received them for ENDER'S GAME and its sequel, SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD, in 1986 and 1987. The third novel in the series, XENOCIDE, was published in 1991, and the fourth and seemingly final volume, CHILDREN OF THE MIND, was published in August 1996. ENDER'S SHADOW is not a sequel, instead, it returns to the events of ENDER'S GAME and views them from the point of view of another character, a street urchin named Bean. As with Rashomon or The Alexandria Quartet, Card discovers a new story in the midst of the old, when seeing it through other eyes. But Orson Scott Card's experience is not limited to one genre or form of storytelling. His contemporary novels LOST BOYS, TREASURE BOX, and HOMEBODY brought a powerful emphasis on character and moral dilemmas to the old-fashioned ghost story. And his newest contemporary novel, ENCHANTMENT (April 1999 from Del Rey), is a romantic fantasy that has Sleeping Beauty being awakened by an American graduate student in Ukraine in 1991. The characters pass back and forth between Sleeping Beauty's world of ninth-century Russia and today's America, with the famous anti-hero of Russian folklore, the witch Baba Yaga, following close behind.

Extractions: Tags: Culture all tags As I write this there are enormous threads on DailyKos and Fark about This article by Orson Scott Card . Card is known to most people for his science fiction, including one of the most popular SF novels of the late 20th century, Ender's Game Many people are astonished to learn that the man who wrote about "that poor little boy" is such a rabid Fascist. But Card has always been a rabid Fascist, as well as several other species of asshat, and none of his works demonstrate that better than the sad tale of Ender Wiggin itself. Here is a very respectful article by SF writer John Kessel which is suspicious of Card's motives. You should read it; it's pretty good. I'll wait. Back in the mid 1980's I knew a struggling SF author who managed to get a few stories published and breached the threshold for membership in the Science Fiction Writers of America (or SFWA), the SF writer's union. She joined thinking it would help her fledgeling career. In 1985 the big news in SF was Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game , which had swept both the Hugo and Nebula awards. Accordingly, my friend read it and passed it on to me, as she often passed on books and magazines. I read it and saw how it would be compelling to a certain mindset, but I didn't think it was all that good.

How to Submit Essays E-mail this page This Week: Prejudice in the Primaries After the Iowa caucuses, an African-American friend of mine from Los Angeles wrote to me, scoffing at the idea that Obama's victory there meant that a black man could now be elected president. I thought he was too pessimistic. But then came Hillary's "comeback" in New Hampshire. I keep hearing about how the pollsters "got it so wrong" and how Hillary's victory came from the Democratic regulars getting out the vote for her. And Mitt Romney's defeat was also laid at the feet of many causes, none of which sounded particularly solid to me. Yes, McCain is something of a "favorite son" in New Hampshire now. But he also has another "virtue" that Romney and Huckabee both lacked: He's not openly religious. I suspect that racial and religious prejudice are both playing more of a role than anyone is willing to admit.

The Hypocrites of Homosexuality By Orson Scott Card from Sunstone magazine When I was an undergraduate theatre student, I was aware, and not happily so, how pervasive was the reach of the underculture of homosexuality among my friends and acquaintances. After a while I stopped being shocked to discover that someone I had known well, or whose talent I admired, was either moving into or already a part of the not-so-clandestine network of gay relationships. I learned that being homosexual does not destroy a person's talent or deny those aspects of their character that I had already come to love and admire. I did learn that for most of them their highest allegiance was to their membership in the community that gave them access to sex. As a not-particularly-pure-minded heterosexual adolescent, I understood the intensity of sexual desire; as a student of human communities, I have since come to understand how character is shaped by or surrendered to one's allegiances. One thing is certain: one cannot serve two masters. And when one's life is given over to one community that demands utter allegiance, it cannot be given to another. The LDS church is one such community. The homosexual community seems to be another. And when I read the statements of those who claim to be both LDS and homosexual, trying to persuade the former community to cease making their membership contingent upon abandoning the latter, I wonder if they realize that the price of such "tolerance" would be, in the long run, the destruction of the Church.

Many had obviously memorized all the howlingly bad lines. They began laughing out loud just before the line was said, and applauded at the wretched "emotional" moments in the movie. But then, walking out of the theater, they fiercely defended the movie against anyone who dared to speak against it. It might be badly written, but it's
