Steve Miller’s Boskone Schedule
Boskone 59 starts today!
Steve Miller will be participating as a virtual panelist. Here’s his schedule:
All times are Eastern Standard.
VIRTUAL: Unhappy Endings Format: Panel
18 Feb 2022, Friday 8pm – 8:50pm, Marina IV (Westin)
Jane Yolen, Steve Miller, Julie Czerneda, Paul Di Filippo (M), Ada Palmer
Tragic plays from Shakespeare, Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides are still with us … hundreds, even thousands of years later.

Why do they succeed? Why do other such stories fail — even fail so hard their authors never try to write unhappily ever after?
