### IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER ###
DAN BROWN's latest shows his mastery of classic 'As You Know, Bob'
exposition: '"Peter," she said, "you already told me that the Egyptians
knew about levers and pulleys long before Newton, and the early
alchemists did work on a par with modern chemistry ..."' (_Financial
Times_ review, 19 September) [MMW] Elsewhere, a minion opens his info-
dump to the hero with: 'As you probably know, Professor ...' [MW]
JOHN M. FORD (1957-2006) is still fondly remembered, but his non-fan
family would rather we didn't. Rumours of awkwardness have been
circulating for some time, and NESFA's _Instant Message_ 825 reports that
a hoped paperback reissue of their Ford collection is unlikely: '... it
does not appear that the Estate will license any further printings. This
appears to be the policy for all of Ford's works, not just the Nesfa
Press book, so that only those works under contract can be reprinted.'
EDDIE IZZARD the comedian spent 52 days running 1,100 miles in 43 charity
marathons, and found the only possible simile for this shattering
experience: 'My legs hurt, my body hurts, I'm very tired. I lost my
toenails, had blisters and stuff, but to finish -- it's kind of like
science fiction in a way.' (_Guardian_, 16 September) [DG]
URSULA K. LE GUIN laments the passing of the squid: '[L]ast night on the
Lehrer news hour Margaret Atwood did not say she did not write science
fiction because she did not write about talking squids, but said that she
did not write science fiction because she did not write about talking
cabbages. I am pondering the significance of this change from sea beast
to land vegetable, but so far it escapes me. She was otherwise charming,
and I do think _The Year of the Flood_ is good science fiction even
though its cabbages are speechless.' (23 September) Those eloquent
cabbages presumably live on Planet X: the indefatigable Ms Atwood told
the _New York Times_ that her work is not sf since 'I don't write about
Planet X, I write about where we are now.' (21 September)
KEN LIVINGSTONE opened his _New Statesman_ interview of Iain Banks with
the key question that must be in every reader's mind: 'I remember meeting
you at the Brighton Science Fiction Festival in 1987. There were a lot
of people walking round in Vulcan costumes. Were you dressed as a
Wookie?' _Banks:_ 'Absolutely not!' (17 September) [JY]
MAURA MCHUGH enlivened Fantasycon by observing that a book of horror-
author interviews being launched there by the British Fantasy Society --
_In Conversation_ by James Cooper -- had an interesting gender balance:
16 male interviewees and no women at all. [AIP] BFS chair Guy Adams
apologized on behalf of the society. (_Guardian_, 22 September)
PHILIP PULLMAN's _His Dark Materials_ was number two in the ALA list of
books most 'challenged' by would-be US censors in 2008. 'Reasons:
political viewpoint, religious viewpoint, and violence.' [GF]
KIM STANLEY ROBINSON took a poke at the Booker Prize in the _New
Scientist_ sf special of 17 September, calling sf 'the best British
literature of our time' and complaining that Booker juries 'judge in
ignorance and give their awards to what usually turn out to be historical
novels. [...] these novels are not about now in the way science fiction
is. Thus it seems to me that three or four of the last 10 Booker prizes
should have gone to science fiction novels the juries hadn't read.' []
In response, Booker judge John Mullan (as befits a professor of English
at University College London) ringingly affirmed his sf ignorance and
'said that he "was not aware of science fiction," arguing that science
fiction has become a "self-enclosed world". / "When I was 18 it was a
genre as accepted as other genres," he said, but now "it is in a special
room in book shops, bought by a special kind of person who has special
weird things they go to and meet each other." (_Guardian_, 18 September)
[KM/CP] Could he mean literary festivals? [] According to _Private Eye_,
'Whispers from the judging room suggest [the Booker] panel were stunned
by the awfulness' of some submissions including Margaret Atwood's _The
Year of the Flood_: 'is she turning into Doris Lessing, from feminism to
sci-fi daffiness?' (18 September) This was the only sf novel ('No it
isn't!' -- M.A.) submitted by any Booker-seeking UK publisher, and this
is the reaction Atwood wriggles so hard to avoid: the _Eye_, like at
least one Booker judge, automatically equates sf with 'no good'.
J.K. ROWLING was reportedly considered for the US Presidential Medal of
Freedom during the last Bush administration; but according to a former
Bush speechwriter, 'people in the White House' objected to this 'because
the Harry Potter books encouraged witchcraft.' (Matt Latimer,
_Speechless: Tales of a White House Survivor_, p201) [DKMK]

### INFINITELY IMPROBABLE ###
AS OTHERS SEE US. Cory Doctorow has left our little genre behind,
according to a review of his _Makers_ subtitled '... a sci-fi writer
growing up': 'It would be wrong to position this as a science fiction
novel, even though it is set in the future and deals with technologies
that do not yet exist ...' (Bill Thompson, _New Humanist_, September/
October 2009)
MAGAZINE SCENE. _The Dark Side_ (horror) is suspending paid-up
subscriptions since 'the current financial climate' has forced
publication to cease after more than 20 years. A 2010 relaunch in a
'brand new format' (on-line?) is supposedly planned, but once publishing
momentum is lost it can be hard to regain. Wait and see. [SG]
_Electric Velocipede_, announces its editor John Klima, is now a
semiprozine. [F770]
R.I.P. _Ray Barrett_ (1927-2009), Australian actor who voiced characters
in _Stingray_ and _Thunderbirds_ (and also appeared in _Doctor Who_), has
died at age 82. [O]
_Barbara Bova_, US literary agent, wife of Ben Bova and founder in
1974 of the Barbara Bova Literary Agency, died from cancer on 23
September. [SFWA]
_Henry Gibson_ (1935-2009), US actor whose many genre credits
included _The Incredible Shrinking Woman_ (1981) and voice work in all
episodes of the animated _Galaxy High School_ (1986), died on 14
September; he was 73. [SFS]
_Ben Indick_ (1923-2009), long-time US fan who published _Ben's
Beat_ (at least 95 issues from 1983) and contributed to countless other
fanzines, died on 28 September. He was 86, and had received a 2009 First
Fandom Hall of Fame award. [RL/AIP] I remember his encouraging letter to
a very early Langford fanzine in 1976.
_Troy Kennedy Martin_ (1932-2009), UK screenwriter who adapted Angus
Wilson's _The Old Men at the Zoo_ and scripted the much-praised sf/
thriller serial _Edge of Darkness_ (1985) -- both for BBC TV -- died on
15 September aged 77. [DP]
_Mary Hunter Schaub_ (1943-2009), US fantasy author who chiefly
wrote in Andre Norton's 'Witch World' setting, and collaborated with
Norton on _The Magestone_ (1996), died on 25 September. [PDF]
_Patrick Swayze_ (1952-2009), US actor who starred in_ Ghost_
(1990), died from cancer on 14 September; he was 57. [BB]
_Jennifer Swift_, US-born author long resident in Oxford, whose
stories appeared in _Amazing_, _Asimov's_, _F&SF_, _Interzone_ and other
magazines, died from cancer on 30 September. All sympathy to her husband
Timothy Bartel. [CP]
DOUBLETHINK. Self-publishing pundit Henry Baum is miraculously untainted
by genre: 'Personally, my own novel is science fiction, but I'm not a
science fiction writer.' (_Sacramento News & Review_) [AIP]
PUBLISHERS & SINNERS. Rebellion, owner of _2000 AD_ and Abaddon Books,
has bought the Solaris book imprint from Games Workshop.
IN TYPO VERITAS. 'I knew a man who collected Star Wars and within the
center shelving was a huge poster of the good ship Enterprise. The
shelving was placed around that poster so there was no questioning what
his collection was all about.' None at all. (Bon Summers, 'A Personal
Library', _Sheppard's Confidential_ website) [BA]
OUTRAGED LETTERS. _Tony Berry_ on the end of another era: 'As reported
in the _Wolverhampton Express & Star_, the Compass (formerly Quality)
Hotel near Walsall was suddenly closed last Friday [28 August] and is now
in receivership. The reason given is "financial problems". The Novacon
committee congratulates itself on seeing the writing on the wall last
year and moving to a new venue!'
_David A(llen) Hardy_ assures us his name is authentic. 'It is true
that I've only had it for 42 years (one less than David A. Hardy has been
doing freelance art), but I've gotten attached to it in the interval.
[...] If it will help prevent confusion, I am prepared to swear that I,
the David A. Hardy who writes for _Dark Worlds_, can't draw anything more
complex than stick-figures.'
_Steve Jeffery_ wants to make my flesh creep: 'Scary headline in
_The Sun_ (Friday 18 September): 1,000 FANS DIE EVERY WEEK. Elderly fans
of _Coronation Street_, apparently, but it nearly gave me a turn.'
ASTRID LINDGREN MEMORIAL AWARD. Nominees for this major Swedish
children's and YA literature prize include David Almond, Quentin Blake,
Russell Hoban, Diana Wynne Jones and Shaun Tan. It's a big prize of SEK5
million (~Pounds450,000), but our nominees shouldn't become overly
excited since the shortlist of authors, illustrators, promoters and
worthy organizations runs to something like 170 names.
PREHISTORY MASTERCLASS. '"Mesmerism!" muttered Conan ...' (Robert E.
Howard, 'Shadows in Zamboulah', _Weird Tales_, 1935) [BA]
C.O.A. _Chris Donaldson & Paul Oldroyd_, 7 Magnolia Close, Worcester, WR5
3SJ.
COURT CIRCULAR. The Tolkien Trust/New Line Cinema lawsuit for non-payment
of royalties has been settled on deeply confidential terms. Everyone
claims to be happy, and the planned films of _The Hobbit_ can go ahead.
The Warner Bros president/CEO thanked the unsung little people, saying
that Warner 'deeply valued the contribution of the Tolkien novels to the
success of our films ...' (_Guardian_) [JS]
RANDOM FANDOM. _Karen Anderson_ evacuated from her Tujunga house to a
hotel in late August owing to the Station Fire, one of several LA-area
wildfires; she was soon able to return. [AIP]
_Joe Haldeman_ has been in intensive care since surgery on 19
September for a twisted bowel and severe pancreatitis. He's stable but
healing only very slowly.
BRITISH FANTASY AWARDS. NOVEL (Derleth Award) 'William Heaney' (Graham
Joyce), _Memoirs of a Master Forger_. NOVELLA Tim Lebbon, _The Reach of
Children_. SHORT Sarah Pinborough, 'Do You See' (_Myth-Understandings_).
COLLECTION Allyson Bird, _Bull Running for Girls_. ANTHOLOGY Stephen
Jones, ed., _The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 19_. SMALL PRESS Andrew
Hook, Elastic Press. NON-FICTION Basil Copper ed. Stephen Jones, _Basil
Copper: A Life in Books_. MAGAZINE _Postscripts_. ARTIST Vincent Chong.
COMIC/GRAPHIC NOVEL Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez, _Locke and Key_. TV
_Doctor Who_. FILM _The Dark Knight_. NEWCOMER Joseph D'Lacey, for
_Meat_. SPECIAL Hayao Miyazaki.
THE FLEETING STEAD OF DEATH, REDUX. Sandra Bond acquired Ian Maule's
fanzine collection and found a rarity: _OSFAN_ 10, containing Jim Theis's
_The Eye of Argon_. 'The original appearance -- badly typed and with
execrable drawn-on-stencil illustrations -- is every bit as bad as the
many available sources' introduction confirms. (And a little mystery is
solved; the art is by Jay T. Rikosh, which no doubt explains the cryptic
reference after the author's name, "Winner of the Jay T. Rikosh award for
excellence!") I may also add that the last page is extant in this copy
and the ending as reported a few years ago is definitely canonical.' Some
distrustful fans had insisted this long-lost ending was a hoax.
MORE AWARDS. _Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire_ (France) foreign novel
shortlist: Steven Hall, _The Raw Shark Texts_; Ian McDonald, _King of
Morning, Queen of Day_; Patrick Rothfuss, _The Name of the Wind_; Dan
Simmons, _The Terror_.
_Robert A. Heinlein_ for sf promoting space exploration: Joe
Haldeman and John Varley.
_Heinlein Centennial_ story contest: 1 Karl Bunker, 'Under the
Shouting Sky'; 2 Charlie Allery, 'In the Shadows'; 3 Sam S. Kepfield.
'Salvage Sputnik'.
HAPPY MEDIA. _Primeval_, the dinosaur/time-travel series cancelled by ITV
in June, was rescued by a co-production deal which makes its
international distributor BBC Worldwide the major partner. (_Guardian_,
29 September)
_District 9_ offended Nigeria's government, which told cinemas to
stop showing a film that according to Information Minister Dora Akunyili
'denigrated Nigeria's image by portraying us as if we are cannibals, we
are criminals.' Actor Eugene Khumbanyiwa pointed out: 'It's a story, you
know ... It's not like Nigerians do eat aliens. Aliens don't even exist
in the first place.' (BBC, 19 September) [MPJ]
LATE NEWS. _Frederik Pohl_, 73 years after dropping out of Brooklyn
Technical High School, received a diploma from the school in August. 'I
was flabbergasted. It was one of the kindest things that any total
stranger had, without warning, ever stepped up and done for me.' [BH]
CONSPIRACY CORNER. Why was _Big Brother_ cancelled? Perhaps because the
female participant Bea revealed secrets that They don't want you to know:
'If the astronauts had really gone to the moon they'd all be dead by now
from cancer caused by the moon's radiation. And why was there a flag
flapping on the moon? America faked it to get one over Russia.' Moreover,
science fiction and the Internet are very very bad things, as shown by
a telling anecdote from Facebook-addicted Bea: 'An old lady my mum knows
died and people only found out after 16 pints of milk were sitting on her
doorstep ... Her neighbours didn't care because they didn't know her.
They were all probably watching science fiction on the internet.' This
proves it! (Digitalspy.co.uk) [JW]
FANFUNDERY. _TransAtlantic Fan Fund:_ nominations are open for the 2010
race from North America to the UK Eastercon (Odyssey), and _close on 4
October_. Prospective candidates should already have rushed the usual
nominator details, platform and bond to administrators Chris Garcia (NA)

Brian Gray, standing jointly, and Frank Wu. Final ballot to appear very
soon after the closing date at taff.org.uk.
_GUFF:_ nominations are similarly open for the 2010 race from Europe
to the Australian Worldcon. Deadline 13 November. Details from Euro-

_DUFF:_ ditto, NA to Aussiecon. Nominating deadline 31 January 2010.
Steve & Sue Francis, PO Box 58009, Louisville KY 40268-0009, USA.
THOG'S MASTERCLASS. _Dept of Dehydration._ 'Step after crushing step, his
breath falling in and out of strange rhythms with the pounding of his
feet. Mucus building at the back of his throat -- the only moisture left
in his body.' (Joseph D'Lacey, _Meat_, 2008) [PC]
_Eyeballs in the Sky._ 'Two disembodied large, evil eyes, swooped
down on her, then receded, then swooped again and receded.' (Elizabeth
Sinclair, _Gardens of the Moon_, 2009) [RF]
_Dept of How's That Again?_ 'Her bare feet, though grimy, were caked
with dirt.' _(Ibid)_ 'Lissie's intense worry for her loved ones was
almost palatable.' _(Ibid)_
_150% Dept._ 'Ten years, and he'd never seen her look like this;
half-annoyed, half-apprehensive, half-expectant.' (Laura Anne Gilman,
_Staying Dead_, 2004) [SGri]
_Undercover Dept._ 'Atar stood scowling out from beneath his bushy
moustache.' (Troy Denning, _Star Wars Fate of the Jedi: Abys_s, 2009)
[AR]
_Neat Tricks Dept._ 'They scrambled forward at just shy of a
sprint.' _(Ibid)_ 'She heard a shocked silence from Baxter and the GAS
lieutenant.' _(Ibid)_

frequent posts from Rose Fox and Josh Jasper:
http://www.genreville.com/
AS OTHERS SEE US YET AGAIN. Michael Agger's _New York Times_ review of
Lev Grossman's _The Magicians_ makes it clear that fantasy, no matter
how distinguished, is not for grown-ups. It begins: 'Fantasy novels
involve magic and are a little bit like magic themselves. To work,
they require of readers a willingness to be fooled, to be gulled into
a world of walking trees and talking lions. They affect us most
powerfully as teenagers, but then most of us move on to sterner,
staider stuff.' And it ends: 'Perhaps a fantasy novel meant for adults
can't help being a strange mess of effects. It's similar to inviting
everyone to a rave for your 40th-birthday party. Sounds like fun, but
aren't we a little old for this?' (8 September, via Genreville)

PLAGIARIST'S FIRST RULE: People may be stupid, but if you copy a well-
