coalescentStrange Horizons has an interview with Zoran Zivkovic. He's got a long novellette called 'Compartments' in the next issue of Postscripts, and most of the stories that appeared in Interzone are due to be collected by Nightshade books as Impossible Stories. And if the third issue of Argosy ever appears, he's got a story in that, too: 'The Telephone'.
There's a piece at Sci-Fi Weekly arguing that SF TV isn't dead, it's just resting, seemingly largely based on the success of The 4400.
I wish the blog at Ready Steady Book had an RSS feed.
John Clute's review of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell questions Neil Gaiman's blurb: 'We do, all the same, have to start with what he does actually say, which is that Strange is "unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last 70 years." To which one's immediate response is: bollocks.' Overall a positive review, however, and one that (as you would expect) cuts through the hype.
Love at first sight is real after all. Apparently.
But diaries may be bad for you. Or at least, people who keep diaries are more likely to suffer from headaches, sleeplessness and other such problems. 'Duncan speculates that diarists buck the usual trend because instead of a single, cathartic outpouring to offload trauma, diarists continually churn over their misfortunes and so never get over them. 'It's probably better not to get caught in a ruminative, repetitive cycle," she says.' And of course, that never happens on livejournal ...
Detailed vote results for the Hugos and retro Hugos. It's interesting to see what placed second in some categories--'The Message' nearly beat out Gollum to that Best Short Form Dramatic Presentation award, for instance.
The new Interzone should be going in the post soon, and has even been mentioned on BBC Cult. I'm thinking I'll take a break from my Shepard marathon when it turns up.
And Jeremy Hardy is a comedy genius. That is all. EDIT: I was referring to the show, not the webpage. Click the listen again link. :-p
