Septembre 1990, Numéro 3 (17E Année); C/O B. GOOR BULLETIN TRIMESTRIEL D'INFORMATIONS DU CENTRE DE DOCUMENTATION DE L'ETRANGE; septembre 1990, Numéro 3 (17e année); C/o B. GOORDEN; BP33 - Uccle 4; 1180 Bruxelles (Abonnement annuel: 9 timbres à 14 FB ou 2,30 FF ou 5 C.R.I.) I) INFORMATIONS BELGES. 1) Les Editions DUCULOT (65 avenue de Lauzelle à 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve) lancent une nouvelle collection, "Les Authentiques", "donnant accès à la grande littérature d'aventures pour les jeunes adultes". Le premier titre est L'Ile au trésor ("The Sea Cook") de Robert Louis STEVENSON, roman d'aventures classique s'il en est, qui bénéficie ici d'une nouvelle traduction, intégrale, due à Geneviève PIROTTE, d'une présentation extrêmement soignée, et des superbes illustrations en quadrichromie de Newell Convers WYETH (1882-1945), reproduites d'après ses originaux pour l'édition Scribners à New York en 1911. Un magnifique travail de reconstitution, qui ne peut qu'inciter tout lecteur à un retour aux sources de sa passion littéraire et poussera le bibliophile à remplacer l'édition de sa bibliothèque par celle-ci. Un volume 18 X 23,5 cm de 274 pages pour une somme, finalement modique, de 580 FB. Il est à noter que paraîtra sous peu La Légende de la vallée somnifère de W.IRVING, titre qui devrait plus particulièrement allécher les amateurs de fantastique. Les mêmes éditions, rappelons-le, ont vu le roman Le Pic des ténèbres de Roger LELOUP (déjà renommé pour ses récits de SF en BD) couronné par le "Grand Prix de la SF française" (section jeunesse). Dans la même collection "Travelling", elles publient notamment d'autres auteurs belges, en l'occurrence L. DELLISSE et N.MONFILS. Soyons galant en signalant d'abord le roman historique de Nadine MONFILS, Les Fleurs brûlées (vol.95), qui traite de la fille de la célèbre empoisonneuse du dix-septième siècle, la tristement célèbre marquise de Brinvilliers. Si ce n'est pas un Auguste Maquet qui a réuni la documentation nécessaire, Nadine MONFILS, en continuant dans cette voie, pourrait se révéler un "Dumas féminin" de la fin du vingtième siècle. Le roman de Luc DELLISSE, La Nuit d'en face (vol. 94), est, toutes proportions gardées, moins original, mettant en scène Romain Colomb (déjà protagoniste de L'Ours en cage, paru dans la même collection), se livrant à une nouvelle enquête. Il se lit tout aussi agréablement que le précédent mais marquera surtout le lecteur par certaines photographies de Marie-Françoise PLISSART, qui l'illustre. Ces volumes sont vendus 270 FB. 2) La Bibliothèque des Paralittératures S. A. STEEMAN (Au Passou 40 à 4053 Embourg / Chaudfontaine) communique le programme détaillé de son 4e Colloque International des Paralittératures, intitulé Alexandre DUMAS ou l'histoire au pouvoir, qui aura lieu les 2, 3 et 4 novembre 1990. Les amateurs seront accueillis le vendredi 2 à 13h30. Les conférences des meilleurs spécialistes étrangers se succéderont au rythme d'une par heure: ainsi M.HOHMANN, de l'Université de Mannheim, ouvrira le feu à 14 h avec "Fatalité de l'Histoire / Fatalité de la mère", suivi de P. TRANOUEZ, de l'Université de Lyon, avec "Reine de France et putain chez A. Dumas", puis de C. GRIVEL, également de l'Université de Mannheim, avec "La Chasse manquée" et "Le Secret de la bête". Le samedi 3, c'est le Français J. THIBAUDEAU qui, à 10h30, traitera de "D'Artagnan ou l'invention de l'histoire du héros populaire" suivi de C. AZIZA, de l'Université de Paris III / Sorbonne nouvelle, avec "D'Artagnan, de l'Histoire au mythe"; après le déjeuner, à 14h, ce sera S. MILLIARD qui abordera "Monte-Cristo. Histoire et histoire :l'ascension du héros" (il donnera un autre exposé à 16h30, sur le même thème: "Monte-Cristo. Le héros éclaté: une quête de l'identité"), suivi de L. QUEFFELEC, de l'Université de Grenoble, avec "La Postérité fictive des héros de Dumas" et, à 17h30, de C. SCHOPP avec "La Danse des spectres". M. HOHMANN nous reviendra le dimanche 4, à 10h, avec "Les Structures narratives dans les romans d'A. Dumas"; il sera suivi de M. NET, de l'Institut de Linguistique de Bucarest, avec "Joseph Balsamo, histoire de l'histoire, fiction d'une fiction. Remarques sur une technique romanesque", et de D. HESSE, attaché au Ministre belge de l'Education, avec "La Mort rituelle et l'initiation d'Isaac Laquedem à Joseph Balsamo". M. MARCHETTI, de l'Université de Rome clôturera le colloque avec un exposé intitulé "Dumas et Nerval. Autorité et marginalité". Apres vous avoir alléché avec toutes ces nourritures célestes, nous vous signalons que, nourritures terrestres comprises, l'inscription se monte à 1.200 FB ou 200 FF pour l'ensemble des trois journées mais qu'il vous est loisible de ne payer que 250 FB ou 40 FF par jour (sans collation) et un supplément de 180 FB ou 30 FF par déjeuner du samedi ou du dimanche. La somme en FB est à verser au compte bancaire 068-2084922-31 avec la mention "Colloque des Paralittératures de Chaudfontaine" tandis que la somme en FF est à adresser par mandat-poste international à Colette GERADIN, 21 rue de la Brasserie à 4052 Beaufays. Si vous ne pouvez pas assister au colloque lui- même, n'hésitez pas à réserver un exemplaire de ses actes, qui seront ultérieurement publiés. 3) PHENIX (C/o Marc BAILLY, 46 rue de la cible à 1030 Bruxelles) publie un numéro 23 qui constitue une anthologie de nouvelles fantastiques. Il peut être acquis en versant 300 FB sur le CCP 000-1527092-21 ou en envoyant un chèque bancaire de 55 FF libellé et adressé à François BAILLY, 243 avenue des Anciens Combattants, A. N. "Le Michel-Ange", bloc C, F-06700 Saint- Laurent-du-Var. 4) OCTA (C/o Claude DUMONT, 12 rue Dorlodot à 5150 Floriffoux) a publié au mois d'août son N°39. On trouve au sommaire de ces 40 pages des fictions de J.-B. OMS, C. MARTIN, J.-J. NGUYEN, B. DEHAYE et du maître d'oeuvres. II) INFORMATIONS FRANCAISES. 1) Corps 9 Editions (Troesnes 02460, Laferté-Milon) a mené à bien la mission visant à rééditer l'intégrale des Aventures de Harry Dickson qui n'étaient pas de la plume de Jean RAY. Elles viennent de publier en juillet le 24e et dernier volume de leur programme, entamé fin 1983. Leur pari est donc gagné et le rythme peut-être lent de parution a permis au navire d'arriver à bon port. Comme le souligne le maître du bord, J. BISCEGLIA,l'ensemble des 178 fascicules est, pour la seconde fois (depuis les années trente), disponible sur le marché, grâce aux efforts complémentaires de Corps 9 Editions et des Nouvelles Editions Oswald (21 volumes, comportant les seules aventures imputables à Jean RAY). Une aubaine pour l'amateur, qui trouvera en outre dans ces livres des contributions critiques inestimables quant à la genèse de ces récits mythiques. Ce volume N°24, comportant 4 aventures, est vendu 80 FF. 2) Tous les amateurs de Jean RAY se délecteront encore avec le numéro 7 du PETIT DETECTIVE (C/o Tania THOMASSIAN, 21 rue de la Paix à 92270 Bois Colombes), consacré spécialement à John FLANDERS avec un dossier de C. DEMEOCQ intitulé "Les Presto-Films de Jean RAY / John Flanders". Il se compose comme suit: "Presto Films à la loupe", "Les Aventures de Jack Linton", "Petit inventaire du style des Presto Films", "Liste et résumés des Presto Films", "Bibliographie" et "John Flanders / Jean Ray par le Père de Kesel", soit quelque 60 pages abondamment illustrées. Si vous aviez le tort de n'être pas abonné, envoyez un timbre à 2,30 FF ou un coupon-réponse international pour que l'on vous informe comment acquérir ce numéro. 3) LA CLEF D'ARGENT (22 avenue Pompidou à 39100 Dole) ne cesse d'ouvrir de nouvelles portes de l'Imaginaire. Ainsi c'est le CODEX ATLANTICUS qui prend la relève du CRI MECANIQUE, intéressante initiative qui était relativement handicapée par son format. On y trouve des textes de H. P. LOVECRAFT ("Mars est-il un monde habité?") et d'E.M. FORSTER ("L'Omnibus céleste") à côté de fictions d'auteurs francophones comme Philippe GINDRE ou Christian HIBON (auteur aux mêmes éditions d'un roman fantastique, Conte brûlé, vendu 45 FF), rehaussés de superbes illustrations en quadrichromie de Philippe DOUGNIER. Le CRI MECANIQUE était déjà pas mal, le CODEX ATLANTICUS, c'est encore mieux (l'amélioration intervenant sur le plan de la forme) et pour seulement 35 FF. 4) SFEROS (C/o Editions AMHAN II, 56 boulevard Joffre à 83100 Toulon) est une nouvelle initiative de William WAECHTER, déjà animateur de Planète à vendre. Il s'agit d'un fanzine qui est axé sur l'érotisme et la SF, le tome 1 comportant 5 nouvelles d'auteurs francophones, parfois rehaussées de fort belles illustrations comme celles de Cercl DARGANTHE. Ce numéro de 28 pages grand format, aux textes justifiés, est vendu 29 FF ou 246 FB. Le tome 2 paraîtra pour Noël pour autant que vous, lecteurs, soyez favorables à d'autres soubresauts érotiques. 5) La revue 666 (C/o Media artistique et graphique, 10 rue Jean-Baptiste Baudin à 21000 Dijon) comporte par numéro 60 pages de BD, nouvelles, chroniques sur l'insolite, le fantastique et même sur l'épouvante. Faites-vous peur pour un montant d'abonnement modique: 3 numéros pour 45 FF (port inclus). 6) Une idée originale est venue à un auteur-éditeur: J.M. MONDELO (B.P. 127 … 75924 Paris cedex 19). Il a conçu un livre qui traite du livre et de la façon dont il se publie.

  • Progress Report #1
    Welcome to the first progress report for the 2021 World Fantasy Convention! We are pressing on, in times of Covid, and continuing to plan a wonderful in person convention in Montréal, Canada. We have a stunning guest list and a superlative team for both planning and the creation of the gathering not to be missed. We will be at the Hôtel Bonaventure, an iconic landmark in the city. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown and just outside the Old Port of Montréal. It is near major roads, right across the street from Gare Centrale, the Montréal train station, and is directly connected to two Metro stations, making it easily accessible for both motorists and public transport users. We will be able to enjoy a lavish 2.5 acres of gardens with streams inhabited by ducks and fish as well as a year-round outdoor heated pool. Our committee is busy excitedly planning a convention that will surpass your every expectation. Our theme will be YA fantasy. The field of young adult fantasy has grown from being popular to becoming a dominant category of 21st century literature, bringing millions of new readers to hundreds of new authors. We are working on a diverse program that will explore this genre that celebrates fantasy fiction in all of its forms: epic, dark, paranormal, urban, and other varieties. We invite members to share what they enjoy, what they have learned, what they have written themselves, and what they hope to see coming in the field of young adult fantasy fiction. We look forward to seeing you all in Montréal! Diane Lacey Chair Diversity Statement The committee for the 2021 World Fantasy Convention is unconditionally devoted to promoting diversity within our convention.

Valda and Miranda are distantly related and so, it turns out, are several other women who have been impregnated by the father of Valda's misbegotton babe, a shadowy monster who rapes and sodomizes his victims.

  • American Fiction in the Age of Capitalist Realism
    SECOND NATURE:AMERICAN FICTION IN THE AGE OF CAPITALIST REALISM Matt Kavanagh, Department of English McGill University, Montreal March 2007 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D © Matt Kavanagh 2007 ii Abstract SECOND NATURE:AMERICAN FICTION IN THE AGE OF CAPITALIST REALISM During the 1990s the global triumph of capitalism has made it, paradoxically, all the more difficult to see. Not only is capitalism increasingly derealized (e.g. cyber- capital), its very ubiquity renders it unremarkable, to the point that it appears a neutral part of objective reality. This dissertation examines how American writers have responded to the ‘spectrality’ that results from the mediation of everyday experience through the market. I discuss formal strategies in the work of Bret Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, Don DeLillo, William Gibson and others to represent the unrepresentable: what Slavoj iek calls the impersonal and anonymous function of the global market mechanism. Chapter one provides a formalist reading of Ellis’s American Psycho, a novel whose claustrophobic narrative represents the world of late capitalism at the level of its concept (“This is not an exit”). Lacking any sense of a horizon, Patrick Bateman experiences the world as radically closed. Because he is incapable of recognizing an elsewhere, he cannot imagine an otherwise; demonstrating no awareness of antagonism, Patrick acts it out in increasingly brutal and frenetic outbursts of violence. Where American Psycho presents Patrick’s sadistic violence as a symptom, my second chapter suggests that Fight Club’s consensual beatings treat violence as a fetish.
