Baikalskaya vodka (made with the pure Baikal water) and good theatre. The bad thing for me was that I was there in November, and could not enjoy either bathing in the Baikal (for this, one should go there by Pavel Viaznikov in July or the first half of August) or enjoying ice and snow (December to March).

  • Australian Science Fiction: in Search of the 'Feel' Dorotta Guttfeld
    65 Australian Science Fiction: in Search of the ‘Feel’ Dorotta Guttfeld, University of Torun, Poland This is our Golden Age – argued Stephen Higgins in his editorial of the 11/1997 issue of Aurealis, Australia’s longest-running magazine devoted to science fiction and fantasy. The magazine’s founder and editor, Higgins optimistically pointed to unprecedented interest in science fiction among Australian publishers. The claim about a “Golden Age” echoed a statement made by Harlan Ellison during a panel discussion “The Australian Renaissance” in Sydney the year before (Ellison 1998, Dann 2000)64. International mechanisms for selection and promotion in this genre seemed to compare favorably with the situation of Australian fiction in general. The Vend-A-Nation project (1998) was to encourage authors to write science fiction stories set in the Republic of Australia, and 1999 was to see the publication of several scholarly studies of Australian science fiction, including Russell Blackford’s and Sean McMullen’s Strange Constellations. Many of these publications were timed to coincide with the 1999 ‘Worldcon’, the most prestigious of all fan conventions, which had been awarded to Melbourne. The ‘Worldcon’ was thus about to become the third ‘Aussiecon’ in history, accessible for the vibrant fan community of Australia, and thus sure to provide even more impetus for the genres’ health. And yet, in the 19/2007 issue of Aurealis, ten years after his announcement of the Golden Age, Stephen Higgins seems to be using a different tone: Rather than talk of a new Golden Age of Australian SF (and there have been plenty of those) I prefer to think of the Australian SF scene as simply continuing to evolve.
