This was a really interesting panel at World Fantasy (which tends to have a lot of them) on the subject of place and geography in fantasy fiction.

I’ve always been fascinated by place and space (in fact that subject made up much of my early academic work), and the conversation here was a really enjoyable one. A word of warning–we were placed in some random area of a larger floor, and so the audio quality is not optimal.
