### BRIGHT NOVEMBER ###
JAMES CAMERON's sf film _Avatar_ seems strangely reminiscent of a Poul
Anderson classic from _Astounding_, April 1957: 'Like _Avatar_, _Call Me
Joe_ centers on a paraplegic -- Ed Anglesey -- who telepathically
connects with an artificially created life form in order to explore a
harsh planet (in this case, Jupiter). Anglesey, like Avatar's Jake Sully,
revels in the freedom and strength of his artificial created body,
battles predators on the surface of Jupiter, and gradually goes native
as he spends more time connected to his artificial body.' (Lauren Davis,
io9.com)
JOHN CLUTE, with David Langford and the co-editorial team, celebrated
passing 10,000 entries in the third-edition-in-progress of the
_Encyclopedia of SF_. The 1993 volume had 6,571. Owing to differences
about the nature of the project, the _EoSF_ has amicably parted company
with Orbit/Hachette and acquired enthusiastic new backers from outside
the conventional publishing world. Keep watching the skies!
HARLAN ELLISON announced on 22 October that his action against CBS/
Paramount (for not paying royalties on spinoffs from _The City on the
Edge of Forever_) has been settled: 'The _Star Trek_ lawsuit is over. I
am pleased with the outcome. [... T]hree years' litigation is completed.
Lordy, I am tired. Smiling at last.' (Harlanellison.com) [DKMK]
ERIN KARPLUK on her Canadian TV series, _Being Erica_: 'Erica is an over-
educated, under-achieving woman who gets the change to go back in time
and fix all the bad decisions she made in the past. [...] It's not sci-fi
-- the time travel is just a catalyst.' [SJ] Which cries out to be
satirized by Ursula Le Guin. 'The galaxy-spanning FTL spacefleet is just
transportation. The psionic talking cabbages are just a metaphor.'
URSULA K. LE GUIN was 80 on 21 October. Belated Happy Birthday!
ROG PEYTON tells me that the _A263_ report of his retirement from book
dealing is, though it came from him, greatly exaggerated: 'I had intended
retiring completely after Novacon but having to have the house completely
rewired, resulting in every room having to be redecorated, along with a
new bathroom, new floors in the kitchen and utility, finding we had
woodworm ... well, all that has left me broke! I can't afford to retire!
So I shall be selling at Heathrow -- and every other Eastercon and
Novacon for a few years yet.' (21 October) Is this an attempt on the Sam
J. Lundwall multiple retirements record?
CARL SAGAN Day will be celebrated in Davie, FL, on 7 November -- the 75th
anniversary of his birth. Speakers include James Randi. [WCW]
CORDWAINER SMITH is interestingly mentioned in recent bookish
reminiscences: 'Most of the collectors whose libraries we bought were
dead years before the libraries came to us, so the only way we could
judge the level of eccentricity in the collectors was the books
themselves, or from other evidence. [...] An Orientalist named Paul
Linebarger, whose father, we were told, had been Sun Yat-sen's lawyer,
had absolutely wonderful books, but he had other things, too. He was an
early expert on psychological warfare, which I believe he later taught.
In one of his closets, for example, we found a huge pile of anticommunist
comic books in Mongolian. Paul Linebarger also wrote science fiction,
under the name Cordwainer Smith. And he had an interest in ladies'
lingerie. One of the more unusual things we bought from his estate was
a bra mannequin, complete with bra. Several drawers full of bras we let
lie.' (Larry McMurtry, _Books: A Memoir_, 2009) [EV]

### INFINITELY IMPROBABLE ###
AS OTHERS SEE SOME OF US. Why a non-fantasy bestseller is so very
laudable: _The Help_ is '... a beacon in the darkness of contemporary
book publishing -- in a time when a vampire is the main character in a
young adult novel responsible for four out of every twenty-five books
sold in the first quarter of this year ...' (_Huffington Post_, 26
October) [RF]

Lanagan, _Tender Morsels_. NOVELLA Richard Bowes 'If Angels Fight'
(_F&SF_ 2/08). SHORT Kij Johnson, '26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss'

CONTRAST. When the interestingly named Ms Marmite Lover staged a Marmite-
themed dinner at her London home restaurant, the Marmite people sent
product freebies and earned some useful goodwill. When she planned a
(non-profit) Harry Potter dinner whose guests would dress as wizards etc,
Warner Bros sent a lovable cease-and-desist letter: 'your proposed use
of the Harry Potter properties [...] would amount to an infringement of
Warner's rights.' (_Telegraph_, 25 October) [MPJ]
MAGAZINE SCENE. Blackfish Publishing's _Filmstar_ and the _SFX_ rival
_Death Ray_ ceased publication in October at issue 5 and issue 21
respectively.
_Lightspeed_, a new on-line magazine from Sean Wallace's Prime
Books, launches in June 2010 with John Joseph Adams as fiction editor.
R.I.P. _Frank Coghlan Jr_ (1916-2009), US actor who played Billy Batson
in the 1941 _Adventures of Captain Marvel_ film serial -- shouting
'Shazam!' and magically turning into another actor -- died on 7 September
aged 93. [PDF]
_Louise Cooper_ (1952-2009), UK fantasy author whose debut novel was
_The Book of Paradox_ (1973), died unexpectedly on 21 October. [SN] Her
scores of fantasy and supernatural novels include the popular Time Master
and Indigo series (the former extended with prequel and sequel
trilogies), plus much work for younger readers. Stan Nicholls writes:
'She was 57, and is survived by her husband, Cas. A fine writer and a
very nice person.'
_Dean Ellis_ (1920-2009), US artist and illustrator responsible for
many sf book and magazine covers, died in October; he was 88. [WCW]
_Barry Letts_ (1925-2009), UK producer, director and writer who was
involved with _Doctor Who_ since 1967 (as producer 1969-1974; he also
wrote scripts and spinoff novels), died in early October aged 84. [SR/O]
_Vic Mizzy_ (1916-2009), US composer who wrote, scored and sang the
famous finger-snapping theme song of _The Addams Family_, died on 17
October. He was 93. [SD]
_Don Ivan Punchatz_ (1936-2009), noted US artist and illustrator who
appeared in many major magzines (_National Geographic_, _Newsweek_,
_Time_ etc), died on 22 October aged 73. His genre work included 1970s
Avon covers for the Foundation and Riverworld series, and package art for
the original _Doom_ game. (_SFscope_)
_George Tuska_ (1916-2009), US comics artist who worked on many
titles from the late 1930s to mid-1980s -- including ten years with
Marvel's _Iron Man_ -- died around midnight on 15/16 October. He was 93.
[PDF]
_Ed Valigursky_ (1926-2009), US artist who in the 1950s and 1960s
painted many sf covers for _Amazing_, _Fantastic_, Ace Books (especially
the Doubles) and other publishers, died on 7 September; he was 82. [AIP]
Favourite subjects included menacing robots and needle-nosed spaceships.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE ... 'There are nerds. There are science fiction
nerds. And then there are American fans of _Doctor Who_ -- those who dare
to combine the exquisite dweebery of Anglophilia with the delicious
dorkdom of old-skool _[sic]_ SF. I'm of that last tribe, a real Who-head.
I can tell you what Tardis stands for (Time and Relative Dimensions in
Space), and, more important, I can say "Tardis" over and over again --
not just with a straight face but with reverence. Bargain-basement BBC
values? Alien monsters made from trash cans and toilet plungers?
Anachronous kibitzing with Shakespeare and Dickens? That's my flavor,
mate ... I suppose US culture simply isn't advanced enough to appreciate
the longest-running, most successful, and yes, the cheesiest and
chintziest science fiction series in television history. And by ADVANCED,
I mean defeated.' (Scott Brown, _Wired_, November) [MMW]
OUTRAGED LETTERS. _Simon R. Green_ on the possible beatification of John
Wyndham (_A266_): 'There's a Walk of Stars in Brum? Wonderful, just what
an author needs; knowledge that after he's gone, people will walk all
over him.'
_Andy Sawyer_ has the dirt on Prof John Mullan (see _A267_), he who
scorns the sf reader as 'a special kind of person who has special weird
things they go to and meet each other.' Take it away, Andy: 'Do I detect
pique? Obviously this is not the same John Mullan who _next weekend_
[written 2 October] will be found hanging about with a very special
fandom, aka the Jane Austen Society of North America. I don't know if
there's a masquerade, but there's certainly a competition: "Which two
brothers and which two sisters, created by Jane Austen, would JASNA
members like to have as their own brothers and sisters?" And the
programme includes: "Fashion Demonstration, 'Dressing Mr. Darcy'",
"Workshops: Dance, Reticule, Silhouette", and the rather mournful
combination of "4:30pm to 5:30pm Social hour (cash bar) / 5:30pm to
8:00pm / Dinner on your own".'
C.O.A. _Lilian Edwards_, 39 (1F2) Viewforth, Edinburgh, EH10 4JE. _Anton
Sherwood_, Post Office Box 1853, Bellingham, WA 98227, USA.
HEALTH & SAFETY. _Joe Haldeman_ (see _A267_) is out of danger, has moved
from intensive care to rehabilitation, and by 26 October was walking and
doing exercises: 'He was tired ("Why is the gravity so strong on this
planet?"), but he bounced back quickly.' [GH]
_Jay Lake_ announced his alarming diagnosis online: '... lung mass
is officially a tumor, surgery in the next few weeks, chemo decision to
follow. I've had better days.' (26 October) [BB] Wish him luck.
_Graham Sleight_ broke his leg while stepping off a train at Euston
on 6 October, with the prospect of 4-6 weeks of crutches; he asks
_Ansible_ to record his 'gratitude at all the kindness I've received from
fannish folk.'
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE (II) ... Review of _Defying Gravity_ by someone
determined to establish insider status: 'Time to come out of the geek
closet, I'm a sucker for sci-fi, so imagine my excitement about a new
show in which astronauts explore the solar system 50 years from now. The
disappointment was swift and brutal. This really, really stinks: it's
pretty much unwatchable from minute one. And that's the big thumbs down
from the fanboy core demographic -- heaven knows what normal people will
think.' (_London Lite_, 21 October) [BA]
RANDOM FANDOM. _Tommy Ferguson and Leslie_ have sad news: 'As some of you
may already know our son Joshua was still born three months ago at 41
weeks, on 22 July 2009.' Much sympathy.
_Padraig O Mealoid_, former Octocon boss, was unexpectedly banned
from Octocon (Dublin, 10-11 October) at very short notice, apparently for
criticizing its organization, with no appeal allowed. For a couple of
days All (Online) Fandom Was Plunged Into War; but swift diplomacy by
James Bacon led to unbanning and a joint P draig/Octocon statement full
of astral peace and cosmic harmony. Which was a great relief.
AS OTHERS SEE THE BOTTOM LINE. With Hollywood's film output falling, the
_Guardian_ paints a ghastly vision of the future: 'As cash for new movies
dries up, a greater proportion of the shrinking resources is going into
a tiny range of sci-fi, superhero and mystic titles. / Coppola said that
even if studios survive the upheaval, "they will just make certain kinds
of films like Harry Potter -- basically trying to make Star Wars over and
over again, because it's a business". (18 October) [LW]
FANFUNDERY. _TransAtlantic Fan Fund:_ voting has begun in the 2010 race
from North America to the UK Eastercon (Odyssey), and closes on 22
December 2009. The candidates are Anne KG Murphy & Brian Gray, standing
jointly, and Frank Wu. See taff.org.uk for ballot forms.
THOG'S MASTERCLASS. _Distributed Middle Dept._ 'Jackson could see one of
the enemy soldier's _[sic]_ midsection splatter red against the brick
behind him and then fall forward dead.' (Travis S. Taylor, _One Day on
Mars_, 2007) [MB]
_Dept of Self-Reference._ 'The boys at the college were delightedly
scared and did their very best to heighten their fear with fantasised
stories of the more macabre genre.' (James Herbert, _The Survivor_,
1976.) [KN]
_Escapology Dept._ 'I felt my eyebrows crawling up my forehead.'
(Timothy Zahn, _Night Train to Rigel_, 2005) [GS]
_Simile Dept._ '... he searched the desk. His hairy hands fluttered
methodically through the contents of its drawers with spasmodic rushes,
like a couple of apoplectic tarantulas ...' (Robert Wells, _Right-Handed
Wilderness_, 1973) 'It revealed Selinda as painfully young. Her nipples
were still pink like goldfish snouts ...' _(Ibid)_ [BA]
_Dept of Neat Tricks._ 'I shift forwards, stretch out my legs and
lean back so that only the base and the top of my shoulders make contact
with the chair.' (Clare Dudman, _One Day the Ice Will Reveal All Its
Dead_ aka _Wegener's Jigsaw_, 2003) [PB]
### STAGE-STRUCK SUPPLEMENT ###
_BEYOND OUR KEN_. David V Barrett was there: 'Last night I went to a
tribute to Ken Campbell, at the Olivier Theatre at the National. In the
audience were more half-recognized loveys than I've ever seen in one
place (it was a show by actors for actors), but many of them genuinely
quirky ones -- they'd have to be to have worked with Campbell!
The show was extracts from his works over the years -- one-man-
shows, the 8-hour _Illuminatus!_, the 22-hour _The Warp_, the pidgin
_Makbed blong Willem Sekspia_ etc etc. Lots of surreal, genuinely weird
and plain silly stuff, all of it superbly performed by about 25 actors
in different combinations, ending up with audience-prompted impro -- and
with a small piano-led jazz group at the back of the stage. Compiled by
his daughter Daisy Campbell (who also took part, though I didn't
recognize her), compered by John Sessions, directed by Sir Richard Eyre
-- who near the end helped on stage a _very_ doddery Warren Mitchell to
narrate a piece on the baboon's bottom he did for Ken years ago. Utterly
brilliant from start to much-later-than-advertised finish.
They filmed it, but I think only for archive rather than broadcast
-- though if it is ever shown, it'll be well worth watching. A loving
tribute to one of the last great eccentrics. I'm glad I was there.' (13
October)
BIRTH OF A _NATION_. Pat McMurray at the preview: 'Imagine yourself
sitting with about 50 others around the edge of a rehearsal hall in the
National Theatre. There are some Polynesian-themed pictures and props
around the walls and a slightly raised area in the middle, but generally
the hall feels quite bare. You're about to see a scene from _Nation_,
from 11 November at the National Theatre, directed by Melly Smith, based
on a novel by Terry Pratchett, adapted by Mark Ravenhill.
The director sits on the bare stage, introduces the scene you're
about to see -- set late in the novel, which she also quickly summarizes
for those who haven't read it, about a quarter of the attendees -- she
apologises for the lack of music and sound effects, and the absence of
a seven-metre-tall god. Later she'll also explain what the stage setting,
costumes, props will look like. But none of this matters now.
The action starts -- forgive the cliche, but the play suddenly
explodes in front of your eyes like the birth of a universe, not just the
birth of a nation -- immediately you're transported to the South Pacific
where you witness cannibals, hand to hand combat, ancestors, a shark
attack, underwater scenes, an encounter with a god, and a boy becoming
a man, and a hero. It feels like 30 seconds have passed when the actors
bring you back to your own life, but a lifetime has been lived. It was
spectacular, energising, thought-provoking, even the small piece we saw
-- amazing work.
In the Q&A at the end we caught a glimpse of the hard physical and
mental work that had gone into what we had just seen. There are still
many surprises to come in the play itself, including but not limited to
the music, the tsunami, the seven-metre-high god.
I walked out and went to buy the novel to read it again. This
rehearsal scene showed all the makings of another successful adaptation
at the NT. (30 October)

OUTRAGED LETTERS II. _Simon R. Green_ cannot be stopped from writing.
'Just to please Margaret Atwood, I think my next book may well feature
telepathic talking squids. Having sex. With cabbages. On Planet X.
Because I am a science fiction writer, and I do write science fiction.
I am a geek. In fact, I am Tarzan, Lord of the Geeks. Raised by
anoraks in the urban jungle....'
EDITORIAL. Some of you begged to look at the original fanzine
pages of 'The Eye of Argon', whose acquisition by Sandra Bond was
announced last issue. With Sandra's help and permission, the _Ansible_
2009 Christmas treat will be a PDF facsimile of the whole thing --
placed online for your emetic delectation. Expect a link in the
December issue.
_Press Relations Masterclass._ I begged IDWcon for early information
about their announced but unspecified 1 November price hike. On 20
October they assured me: 'We're not raising our prices for November.'
This news was trustingly inserted into the draft _Ansible_. No further
word from IDWcon, but on 1 November their website started showing higher
prices. What merry pranksters.
WHO GOES THERE? The Blackpool _Doctor Who_ museum is to close forever
at 8pm on 8 November; its contents will be dispersed among other UK
_Who_ displays, as listed at ...
http://www.doctorwhoexhibitions.com
RANDOM FANDOM II. _Cardinal Cox_ won the John Clare Trust Poetry Prize
in October -- presumably with skiffy poems redolent of rockets,
chemicals, and talking squid in outer space, since he sent the news to
this low sf rag....
_Margaret Hoyt_ wrestles with philosophical intricacies: 'I have been
looking at recent issues of _Ansible_, trying to guess about the elusive
definition of science fiction. I conclude that it's now okay for Ms. Atwood
to write about talking squid and perpetually horny blue guys and not be
tarred with the sf brush, but that cabbages are right out, with or without
doilies?' []
