Deletion Episode 6 Special Edition: Young Adult Science Fiction
In 2004, Farah Mendlesohn posed the provocative question "Is there any such thing as children's science fiction?" Mendlesohn answered that question in 2009 with the claim "Yes, but nowhere near enough" (2009: 4). This Episode of Deletion takes up the issues implicit in Mendlesohn's question-and-answer in the context of science fiction for young adults, celebrating and interrogating the science fictional possibilities of YA literature.
