  • An Interview with Damon Knight
    No. 34 March 1972 An Interview With Damon Knight Conducted by Paul Walker* What has been the most interesting development in science fiction since 1960? What has been the most obnoxious, to you, personally? The most interesting development would have to be the movement of com­ mercial science fiction back toward the standards of literary science fiction from which it diverged about 70 years ago. This is what's putting some life back into the field for the first time since the early 50's. The least pleasant develop­ ment, I guess, would be Sol Cohen's reprint magazines. One way of measuring the health of the field is by counting the number of good new writers who appear in it each year. I wrote a piece about this for the Clarion anthology; the chart that goes with it shows a peak (24) in 1930, another (17) in 1941, another (28) in 1951, and then a long slow decline to 1965, the last year for which I had records — the figure there was 1. I have not been able to draw the rest of that line, but I think I know what it would look like. How has the role of editor fared in the same time? Generally speaking, if you're talking about the magazines and most of the paperbacks, I think science fiction editing has been a downhill thing since 1950 — more routine, less rewarding, less effective. Struggling to keep dead things afloat is no fun for anybody. As far as I'm concerned, my experience is not typical.

    SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN Published by: INSTITUTE FOR SPECIALIZED LITERATURE Post Office Box 4201 North Hollywood, California 91607 Copywrite - 1976 FORWARD The following listing of the alpha-numeric ACE BOOKS has been compiled in three parts: Part 1 - Listing by Publisher’s Number Part 2 - Listing by Author Part 3 - Listing by Title The data contained in the listing has been checked carefully against the actual books and has been proofread three time; I am certain that there are still some typing errors, however. I believe that the listing is complete and I can authenticate every entry from my own collection. There may be arguments, however, concerning some of the titles that I chose to include or exclude. Considering the importance of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Andre Norton to ACE BOOKS, I have included all of their titles, regardless of the science fictional content. On the other hand, I have excluded most of the STAR ("K") series, Asimov’s Is Anyone There? (N-4) and Lupoff’s biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs (N-6) on the basis that they are not science fiction. The system that I have used for alphabetizing is based on the first signif­ icant word, and any punctuation is disregarded. Therefore, "Moondust" (one word) is shown later in the listing than "Moon Maid" (two words), and "Game-Player" is considered a single word. I have been assisted greatly in making this listing by Don Kramer and Marty Massoglia, both members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society.
