PETER HELLER on ''CLI FI'' as a possible label for THE DOG STARS

''I think of ''The Dog Stars'' as literary fiction, straight up, but it was one of six finalists for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, which shocked me, since it's about a guy surviving with his old dog and an antique Cessna. But. I guess it's sci fi if they say it is. Speculative fiction might be more accurate. In my novel, climate change has killed a lot of the forests in Colorado, the creeks are warming and the trout are gone, and drought is a major threat. These things have already begun to happen here. Cli fi is a new term to me, but if the shoe fits I'm glad to wear it.''
