SF Signal – A Speculative Fiction Blog

A science fiction blog featuring science fiction book reviews and with frequent ramblings on fantasy, computers and the web.

SF Tidbits for 2/2/09

By John DeNardo | Monday, February 2nd, 2009 at 12:06 am  

  • John C. Wright shares an appreciation of David Lindsay’s Voyage to Arcturus: “No mainstream book can compare for sheer, headlong imagination with a science fiction book, because imagination is the stock-in-trade of science fiction.”
  • Clarkesworld interviews Jeff VanderMeer.
  • @The Nebula Awards: Cat Rambo interviews Nalo Hopkinson.
  • Over at Slashdot, Lawrence Person talks about Difficult Times For SF Magazines, which generates lots of comments. Meanwhile, James Wallace Harris responds: “Maybe what’s needed is for the genre to get down to one magazine. Refocus the field of science fiction.”
