It began at a party, when my editor at Asimov’s, Gardner Dozois, who knew I’d been to Africa half a dozen times and was editing a series of African hunting classics, challenged me to write “the ultimate science fiction hunting story”. Of course I accepted the challenge, and then did nothing about it for a year, because I didn’t want to write a story in which the protagonist just killed a bunch of bug-eyed monsters, each more hideous than the last.

And one day, I can’t remember why, I found myself with a copy of Lewis Carroll’s “The Hunting of the Snark” in my hands, and I realized there was a hell of a science fiction hunting story to be told, something that paralleled Carroll but with an ending that was 100% Resnick. Most enjoyable collaboration I ever did; for once, my collaborator didn’t ask for half of the money. “Hunting the Snark” was a Hugo and Nebula nominee for Best Novella in 2000, won the Homer Award, and topped the Asimov’s poll.
