Book Reviews from the Sf Press
BOOK REVIEWS FROM THE SF PRESS Solar Lottery Anthony Boucher: Fantasy & Science Fiction August 1955, p. 94 Philip K. Dick’s SOLAR LOTTERY (Ace, 35 cents) is kept from a Grade A rating only by a tendency, in both its nicely contrasted plots, to dwindle away at the end. This first novel by one of the most interesting new magazine writers (one of F&SF’s discoveries, I may add proudly) creates a strange and highly convincing and self-consistent future society, peculiarly governed by Games Theory and the principle of randomness; against this background, built up with the detail of a Heinlein and the satire of a Kornbluth, it relates a taunt melodrama of political conflict and a stirring space-quest to rediscover a lost tenth planet. P. Schuyler Miller: Astounding Science Fiction November 1955, p. 151 Here’s another demonstration that you get a whale of a lot for your money from Ace. “Solar Lottery” is in the van Vogt tradition, taking a man with a mission, involving him hopelessly in a society built on a novel concept of science or philosophy, and allowing all sorts of unseen forces to prowl and putter behind the scenes. This time the gimmick is not non-Aristotelian semantics but von Neumann’s Theory of Games, which the author has built up as the mainspring of a Twenty-third Century planetary lottery whose one winner, the Quizmaster, is dictator of mankind until an assassin cuts him down or the “bottle” – never quite explained – twitches someone else in his place. Outside the Game, those who have special skills useful to the manufacturing combines may sell themselves into absolute serfdom, while those who have only manual skills are “unclassified” and hopeless. -

Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Andrew M. Butler and David Hyde July 2018 Andrew M. Butler is a British academic who teaches film, media and cultural studies at Canterbury Christ Church University. His thesis paper for his PhD was titled “Ontology and ethics in the writings of Philip K. Dick.” He has also published “The Pocket essential Philip K. Dick”. He is a former editor of Vector, the Critical Journal of the British Science Fiction Association and was membership secretary of the Science Fiction Foundation. He is a former Arthur C. Clarke Award judge and is now a member of the Serendip Foundation which administers the award. David Hyde, a.k.a. Lord Running Clam, joined the Philip K. Dick Society in 1985 and contributed to its newsletter. When the PKDS was discontinued, he created For Dickheads Only in 1993, a zine that was active until 1997. Since then, his activities include many contributions to and editorial work for the fanzine PKD OTAKU. His book, PINK BEAM: A Philip K. Dick Companion, is a detailed publication history of PKD's novels and short stories. In 2010, David organized the 21st century's first Philip K. Dick Festival in Black Hawk, Colorado. Recently, in partnership with Henri Wintz at Wide Books, he has published two full-color bibliographies of the novels and short stories of Philip K. Dick. In early 2019 Wide Books will publish the French bibliography. On the 35th anniversary of Phil’s passing in 2017 David held a memorial celebration for PKD fans in Ft.

Eng 4936 Syllabus
ENG 4936 (Honors Seminar): Reading Science Fiction: The Pulps Professor Terry Harpold Spring 2019, Section 7449 Time: MWF, per. 5 (11:45 AM–12:35 PM) Location: Little Hall (LIT) 0117 office hours: M, 4–6 PM & by appt. (TUR 4105) email: [email protected] home page for Terry Harpold: http://users.clas.ufl.edu/tharpold/ e-Learning (Canvas) site for ENG 4936 (registered students only): http://elearning.ufl.edu Course description The “pulps” were illustrated fiction magazines published between the late 1890s and the late 1950s. Named for the inexpensive wood pulp paper on which they were printed, they varied widely as to genre, including aviation fiction, fantasy, horror and weird fiction, detective and crime fiction, railroad fiction, romance, science fiction, sports stories, war fiction, and western fiction. In the pulps’ heyday a bookshop or newsstand might offer dozens of different magazines on these subjects, often from the same publishers and featuring work by the same writers, with lurid, striking cover and interior art by the same artists. The magazines are, moreover, chock-full of period advertising targeted at an emerging readership, mostly – but not exclusively – male and subject to predictable The first issue of Amazing Stories, April 1926. Editor Hugo Gernsback worries and aspirations during the Depression and Pre- promises “a new sort of magazine,” WWII eras. (“Be a Radio Expert! Many Make $30 $50 $75 featuring the new genre of a Week!” “Get into Aviation by Training at Home!” “scientifiction.” “Listerine Ends Husband’s Dandruff in 3 Weeks!” “I’ll Prove that YOU, too, can be a NEW MAN! – Charles Atlas.”) The business end of the pulps was notoriously inconstant and sometimes shady; magazines came into and went out of publication with little fanfare; they often changed genres or titles without advance notice. -

Antonio Rodríguez Babiloni Biografía: Philip. K. Dick (1928-1982) Nació prematuramente, junto a su hermana gemela Jane, el 2 de marzo 1928, en Chicago. Jane murió trágicamente pocas semanas después. La influencia de la muerte de Jane fue una parte dominante de la vida y obra de Philp K. Dick. El biógrafo Lawrence Sutin escribe; ...El trauma de la muerte de Jane quedó como el suceso central de la vida psíquica de Phil Dos años más tarde los padres de Dick, Dorothy Grant y Joseph Edgar Dick se mudaron a Berkeley. A esas alturas el matrimonio estaba prácticamente roto y el divorcio llegó en 1932, Dick se quedó con su madre, con la que se trasladó a Washington. En 1940 volvieron a Berkeley. Fue durante este período cuando Dick comenzó a leer y escribir ciencia ficción. En su adolescencia, publicó regularmente historias cortas en el Club de Autores Jovenes, una columna el Berkeley Gazette. Devoraba todas las revistas de ciencia-ficción que llegaban a sus manos y muy pronto empezó a ser influido por autores como Heinlein y Van Vogt. -
Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial
Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin Michelle Ferebee Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Thomas S. Davis, Advisor Dr. Jared Gardner Dr. Brian McHale Dr. Rebekah Sheldon 1 Copyrighted by Kristin Michelle Ferebee 2019 2 Abstract The Anthropocene era— a term put forward to differentiate the timespan in which human activity has left a geological mark on the Earth, and which is most often now applied to what J.R. McNeill labels the post-1945 “Great Acceleration”— has seen a proliferation of narratives that center around questions of radioactive, toxic, and other bodily contamination and this contamination’s potential effects. Across literature, memoir, comics, television, and film, these narratives play out the cultural anxieties of a world that is itself increasingly figured as contaminated. In this dissertation, I read examples of these narratives as suggesting that behind these anxieties lies a more central anxiety concerning the sustainability of Western liberal humanism and its foundational human figure. Without celebrating contamination, I argue that the very concept of what it means to be “contaminated” must be rethought, as representations of the contaminated body shape and shaped by a nervous policing of what counts as “human.” To this end, I offer a strategy of posthuman/ist reading that draws on new materialist approaches from the Environmental Humanities, and mobilize this strategy to highlight the ways in which narratives of contamination from Marvel Comics to memoir are already rejecting the problematic ideology of the human and envisioning what might come next. -
