Jetsie de Vries is resigning as co-editor of Interzone : “I am unhappy with the direction and tone the fiction in Interzone will be taking.” UPDATE: response from the remaining editorial team : “We would like to reassure readers and authors that there is no change in editorial ethos or policy – explicit or implicit, actual or pending – at Interzone.” Curious.
The deadline for the BSFA 50th Anniversary Short Story competition is this Friday .
Abigail Nussbaum reviews the October/November issue of F&SF ; Lucius Shepard takes exception to her criticism of his review of Iron Man; Abigail responds ; and Shepard responds . I am pretty much on Abigail’s side on this one.

With this novel, which was awarded the 2001 American Library A... more
Today is going to be full of Doing Work That Isn’t Writing. I have a dream that someday I will no longer be behind the 8 ball. (This would no doubt be made easier if I would stop taking on new projects. I spent a good hour on Saturday looking at my shelf of books I’ve written and trying to figure out where “taking a break” fit into the next few years of finishing those series. I did not come up with an answer. On the other hand, nor did I have spastic ZOMG I CANNOT LET T... more
Boy A From: buzz.phigita.net Post Date: 2008-11-11 16:36:09
Boy A (2007) του John Crowley, ο οποίος συνεχίζει με τον καλύτερο τρόπο αυτό που ξεκίνησε με το Intermission (2003) κάποια χρόνια πριν. Εδώ βέβαια έχει ανεβάσει πολύ το επίπεδο και πραγματικά δείχνει ότι αποτελεί τη νέα ελπίδα του βρετανικού κινηματογράφου. Η ιστορία που π... more
Today, on Garrion Keillor’s The Writers Almanac , he announced that it is the birthday of another Maine author, John Crowley. Not that I am author per se, but do dabble at writing more or less words than may be necessary.
Clicking on John Crowley’s name took me to his blog . Mr. Crowley’s website includes a link to The Five Foot Shelf, aka The Whole Five Feet . Which is archived here .
Apparently, Christopher Beha completed in one year what I intermittently dab... more

The Surfer From: vectoreditors.wordpress.com Post Date: 2008-03-04 00:46:59
If you want to write fiction with an agenda, this is how to do it. Kelly Link’s “The Surfer”, like all the stories in The Starry Rift, was written to meet Jonathan Strahan’s editorial challenge to write “stories that would offer today’s readers the same kind of thrill enjoyed by the pulp readers of over fifty years ago”; or, if you believe the version of the remit given on Wikipedia , which chimes with what I’ve actually read of the book, it was to wri... more

1. Cecelia Holland managed to put me off Ursula K Le Guin’s Lavinia with one paragraph of praise:
Most of the time, Le Guin is vivifying a seamless, sacred, blessed time which may never have existed but which we all fervently long to believe in: the morning of the world, when the whole of nature was suffused with spirit, and people lived in reverence to it. The details of sacrifice and rite and oracle are lovingly described not for their own sake but because they reveal the deep sense... more
The Guardian:
The shortlist for the Arthur C Clarke award for science fiction, announced earlier today, suggests a broad definition of the genre. Along with tales of androids and genetic engineers, the six books nominated this year include prize-winning literary fiction, a novel for young adults, and what has been described as “a postmodern psychological mash-up”.

Hall, who was shortlisted for the Booker prize in 2004 for Electric Michelangelo, was deligh... more
John Jarrold isn’t happy :
This is, without doubt, the most insular Clarke shortlist ever.
I’ll fly my colours from the mast: as far as I’m concerned, Ian McDonald’s BRASYL is the best SF novel of 2007. I’m not involved in it, in any way, I say this personally. And I don’t always expect my favourite to win. However, for that and some other titles that are wonderful SF novels not to even be shortlisted is ludicrous. But they are not set in the UK, so ap... more
