Summary:

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills - and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Twenty-three tales comprise this incredible collection, and as the title suggests, the writers were free to contribute whatever they wished. Here is the table of contents:

    Foreword by Patrick Rothfuss
    Introduction: On Becoming Unfettered
    Imaginary Friends by Terry Brooks
    How Old Holly Came to Be by Patrick Rothfuss
    The Old Scale Game by Tad Williams
    Game of Chance by Carrie Vaughn
    The Martyr of the Roses by Jacqueline Carey
    Mudboy by Peter V. Brett
    The Sound of Broken Absolutes by Peter Orullian
    The Coach with Big Teeth by R. A. Salvatore
    Keeper of Memory by Todd Lockwood
    Heaven in a Wild Flower by Blake Charlton
    Dogs by Daniel Abraham
    The Chapel Perilous by Kevin Hearne
    Select Mode by Mark Lawrence
    All the Girls Love Michael Stein by David Anthony Durham
    Strange Rain by Jennifer Bosworth
    Nocturne by Robert V. S. Redick
    Unbowed by Eldon Thompson
    In Favour with Their Stars by Naomi Novik
    River of Souls by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson
    The Jester by Michael J. Sullivan
    The Duel by Lev Grossman
    Walker and the Shade of Allanon by Terry Brooks
    The Unfettered Knight by Shawn Speakman

    With the help of stalwart friends and these wonderful short stories, Shawn has taken the gravest of life’s hardships and created something magical. Unfettered is not only a fantastic anthology in its own right, but it’s a testament to the generosity found in the science fiction and fantasy community—proof that humanity can give beyond itself when the need arises. After all, isn’t that the driving narrative in fantasy literature?

Meritocracy, then and now. Laurie Taylor talks to Peter Hennessy, Attlee professor of contemporary British history at Queen Mary, University of London. How did meritocracy arise as a concept and has it ever been realised in practice given the persistence of notions of a British Establishment with control over access to the centres of power? They are joined by Danny Dorling, professor of Geography at the University of Oxford. Also, doctors' choice of desert island discs - what do they tell us about the possession of cultural capital?

US literary superstar Jonathan Franzen talks about his hugely acclaimed novel Freedom. An epic of contemporary love and marriage, Freedom charts the exploits of the Berglund family, capturing the temptations and burdens of liberty, the thrills of teenage lust, the frustrations of trying to change the world, and the sobering compromises of middle age. 



In fixing his unflinching gaze on the memorable trio of characters, Patty, Walter, and reprobate rockstar Richard Katz and on how they struggle to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of 21st Century America.
