The adaptation starred Natalie Portman and Gina Rodriguez. Paramount Pictures turned ‘Annihilation’ into a live-action movie in 2018. The author has received British Fantasy Society, Philip K Dick, World Fantasy, Nebula, Arthur C. His admirers have praised him for the intellectual observations he makes in his stories.īesides fiction writing, VanderMeer writes literary reviews, edits anthologies, and teaches creative writing. However, he admits that his work is difficult to quantify using mainstream categories.
People that have interacted with the writer understand that he hates having such discussions because they typically turn artistic and creative considerations into marketing conversations. The publishing industry hasn’t embraced the ‘Weird fiction’ label as enthusiastically, choosing to market VanderMeer as an author of science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, and metafiction. According to his understanding of the genre, whereas ordinary horror and fantasy re-purpose pre-existing tools and concepts, weird fiction takes readers into the unknown, introducing entities that are as monstrous as they are beautiful. Today, the author’s fans classify him as a writer of weird fiction, a categorization that Jeff VanderMeer has embraced. The stories he eventually self-published in his 1989 collection fell strictly within those genres. At the time, VanderMeer was primarily interested in horror and fantasy. In high school, besides making contributions to magazines, the author also wrote short stories. VanderMeer’s interest in reading was sparked early on. He always counted Angela Carter as one of his biggest inspirations, blaming her prose and literary passion for rewiring his mind and pushing him to take a more fearless approach to his writing. The writer spent three years in University before joining the Clarion Writers Workshop. As a young man, VanderMeer had the opportunity to live in New York (Ithaca) and Florida (Gainesville). A former student at the University of Florida, the author’s parents’ work with the Peace Corps took them to interesting places.
