Oktobernumret är ute av Dave Langfords (flerfaldigt Hugo-vinnande) sf-newszine
Ansible är ute:
http://news.ansible.uk/a363.html
Saxar litet nyheter, som månne inte hunnit stå på SKRIVA än:
* Brackett was revealed as the first ever woman finalist for the best-novel
Hugo (with The Long Tomorrow) when the 1956 shortlist was at last unearthed
from an old Worldcon PR.
* John Clute grumbled about the Guardian's 'ineffably poshlosty article by
Alison Flood announcing the 2017 [Man Booker] shortlist, gingerly skirting the
clear fact that at least three titles are fantastika – there are entries on
Paul Auster, George Saunders and Mohsin Hamid in the SF Encyclopedia, where
each of the shortlisted titles is described – and that the novel that had been
in contention from the surprise non-listed author Colson Whitehead was also
transgressively non-mimetic (The Underground Railroad is also described at
length in the SFE). Just to be clear: science fiction, fantasy, the fantastic,
non-mimetic are among the relevant terms that do not pass the Guardian
good-taste filter.'
