Happy new year everybody! I was browsing on the internet and I came across this book http://www.dartmouth.edu/~upne/0-8195-6688-8.html looks to be of interest....
Cool. Wesleyan approached me a few months ago about my art for the cover, but I didn't know they'd done it up it. The painting is originally of Von Ray for...
Thanks for the Arogsy notice! I have purchased this magazine -- it was surprisingly easy to find this month, not only at the local science fiction speciality...
Thanks for mentioning this. I noticed the book in Wesleyan's most recent catalog and had been meaning to post a notice about it. I remember reading an essay...
Well I knew it was coming, but I'm also getting used long wait times with publishers. Someday a copy of the book and a check will show up as a nice surprise !...
Thanks for the feedback on that art - I actually did that one for myself years ago ( it's one of my wife's favorites ) , so it's kind of cool to make use of it...
Congrats Jeff, the cover does indeed look great! Glad I could let ya know! Before posting my last message I had a suspicion that I had heard of this book...
I've just discovered Delany (by picking up Dhalgren at the library on a whim).. I'm now reading Babel-17. One of the things I really love about his writing are...
Wow! You started on Dhalgren?!!! Congratulations! All of Delany's work deals with the minutiae of relationships. So you've got a lot of good stuff to look...
Hi! Try anything by Angela Carter - she's amazing. I don't know whether she's popular among SRD's fans or not but she is worth checking out. The Infernal...
While on the subject of other authors, I'm always curious what other authors avid readers of Chip's are currently reading? Anything to blow the socks off us? ...
From the SF genre, the obvious names, it seems to me, would be Ursula K. Le Guin and Gene Wolfe. I don't know anyone else in the genre who have worked as...
Myself? I'm reading Gene Wolfe's _Latro in the Mist_, Marion Zimmer Bradley's _Sharra's Exile_, Matt Ruff's _Set This House in Order: A romance of souls_ and...
... Geoff Ryman is certainly a great choice. Other current sf writers who have, for want of a better way to describe it, a literary heft, a richness of...

I've been on vacatoin; so I haven't checked mail. It's good to see some signal on this list. First, congratulations Jeff on the cover. I had printed up a copy...
... Speaking of Alan Moore, has anyone been able to find a copy of Mirror of Love yet? The release date on Amazon has changed a few times. Now it seems to...
i just read "disgrace" by j.m. coetzee, yes the nobel prize winner, and was struck by the similarities to srd's "triton". i think anybody who likes "triton" or...
I've been on vacation for the last couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to check that out. I did have a copy on order at the store that I work at[going...
I can't find the original post but I'm sure that somebody mentioned seeing a new edition of Hogg on Amazon. I haven't been able to find that myself. I must...
Since you're interested in gender issues, I'd like to recommend James Tiptree, jr. The short stories are amazingly good, and may give you some new ideas on...
... He actually goes into it in the Argosy interview. The interview was conducted July 9, 2003, so it's a bit out of date, but fwiw: === Adam Roberts: What are...
... I'm a big fan of Angela Carter and Geoff Ryman, both of whom were mentioned earlier on this thread... I just finished Gene Wolfe's _The Knight_ and I will...

I'm re-reading John Crowley's "Little, Big". Very different from Delany's work but somehow similar. The interplay between the world and the characters and...
