coalescentThere's a pretty high friends-list overlap here, so most of you will have seen this, but Geneva has an excellent review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
An interview with Peter Crowther, he of PS Publishing fame, can be found at s1ingularity: "But perhaps the main difference will be that [Postscripts] will feature all of the different genre strands -- horror, fantasy, SF and crime/suspense." And it's coming out quarterly, from a small-but-high-quality publisher...It's the genre answer to Granta! Maybe. In more depressing news, there'll be no more of those nice square four-in-one anthologies (Futures, Infinities, Cities, etc), because they didn't sell enough copies. I blame you for that. Yes, all of you.
I didn't realise that every single anniversary (give or take) has its own designation. 4th anniversary is your books anniversary, apparently...
This Saturday, Radio 4, 8pm: Weird Science, a history of science fiction on the radio, featuring Brian Aldiss. In related Aldiss news he was on the today program this morning talking about the OED's SF citations project. The interview was notable for a period of stream-of-conciousness mumbling of various sf words.
Dear sweet god, the creationists are building a theme park.
Two articles for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
despotliz (and anyone else who's interested): one about Neal Stephenson and the Baroque Cycle, and one about Al Reynolds and the Inhibitors novels (or whatever the umbrella term for that sequence is).
Iain M Banks' next novel has gained a title: Algebraist. Marginally catchier than 'SF Novel', I suppose.
A really interesting short story at Strange Horizons: 'Tetrarchs', by Alan DeNiro (one of the Ratbastards). Matthew Cheney writes about the story here.
