- J.K. Rowling tells the world she always imagined Dumbledore as being gay.
- John C. Wright shows off the cover of of his upcoming book Null-A Continuum, a continuation of A.E. van Vogt’s Null-A series. (Reminder to self: read A.E. van Vogt’s Null-A series as preparation.)
- PS Publishing shows off the cover of The Crystal Cosmos by Rhys Hughes.
- Jeff VanderMeer has 5 questions for Margo Lanagan.
- Jeff VanderMeer also re-publishes his own appreciation of Cordwainer Smith, prompted by the recent posting of Graham Sleight’s Locus article on Smith. And, by cosmic coincidences, Fred at Texas Best Grok has also posted about Smith.
- Chris Roberson shares a really cool ad campaign for the new literacy program of the Library of Congress.
- ListUniverse has a collection of 15 cool-looking sci-fi images.
Was there some sort of cosmic impulse going on this week? I posted my Smith overview without knowing about the “Yesterday’s Tomorrows” or the JVM pieces. Weird. Are there other Smith postings that will start popping up?
“Reminder to self: read A.E. van Vogt’s Null-A series as preparation.”
Tsk. Tsk. Hop to it!
Not my favorite van Vogt, but still very much worth a spin and oddly influential.
Whoops! Sorry Fred, you just reminded me…I did see your post and had every intention of mentioning it with yesterday’s Locus Smith piece. I’ve updated the post above. :-S
