Paris lägger anbud på att arrangera sf-världskongressen år 2023! Mer info: http://parisin2023.org/ http://file770.com/?p=18068 Det verkar som att man kommer att få hjälp av brittiska sf-fans med att fixa det (och det är ju bara en kort bit under kanalen via The Chunnel). En världskongress i Jules Vernes land är nog inte helt fel. Och Paris är en supertrevlig stad - en av mina favvostäder i världen. ----- A new – unprecedented – anthology of French SF has been released yesterday, both in French and English. And it’s free (electronic version only)… It was a project of the French luxury industry that decided to explore what the year 2074 could be, and to imagine a possible common utopia. It was a marvelous project, that will be officially presented in New-York the 10th of December (18h30) at the French Bookstore l’Albertine, 972 Fifth Avenue (between 78th & 79th street). See http://albertine.com. You can download it in various formats (ePub 2 and 3, Mobi, pdf) here : http://www.dreaming2074.com/?_ga=1.63077871.1779208177.1415173961 or on Amazon, etc. (http://www.amazon.fr/Dreaming-2074-Created-collective-Colbert-ebook/dp/B00P7RHDY2/) The official announcement: This is the unparalleled adventure proposed by the cream of French luxury and science fiction. 6 famous science fiction writers (Samantha Bailly, Jean-Claude Dunyach, Anne Fakhouri, Xavier Mauméjean, Olivier Paquet, Joëlle Wintrebert), 1 linguist (Alain Rey) and 1 composer (Roque Rivas) have seized the futuristic dream of luxury firms and nourished it with their imaginations. Put on their heroes’ Nautys to journey through a world where the celebration of the senses and the sharing of emotions will restore your taste for things and beings. And, finally, this future may well dream happily ever after… This work is also available in French. 7 short stories in the anthology (6 texts and a piece of music): - Porphyrian Tree (Xavier Mauméjean) - Amber Queen (Olivier Paquet) - Facets (Samantha Bailly) - Future Mirages (Roque Rivas) (Musical illustration) - Diamond Anniversary (Jean-Claude Dunyach) - A Corner of Her Mind (Anne Fakhouri) - The Chimeras’ Gift (Joëlle Wintrebert) ----- This afternoon, the 4th of November, Antoine Volodine received the Medicis Prize for Terminus Radieux. A prolific author, Volodine has written forty books in genres as diverse as novels, YA fiction, and poetry. And yet, he seeks to break the cliché of the omnipotent writer. http://www.rochester.edu/College/translation/threepercent/?id=7332 “Terminus Radieux is a dystopic novel set mainly in Siberia just after the fall of a second Soviet Union and follows a man wandering amidst the ruins of a thermonuclear war. Though the people he meets on his journey aren’t dead, they don’t seem to be alive either. *Terminus Radieux *evokes a world scented with the perfumes of Eastern culture, where borders between life and death are blurred and where several universes coexist.
