JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate. -

Epidemic in the Eyes of “Three Generals of Chinese Sci-Fi” – Wang Jingkang, Liu Cixin and Han Song*
No. 6 July 2020 王晋康、刘慈欣、韩松 | “天王级”科幻作家眼中的瘟疫 Epidemic in the Eyes of “Three Generals of Chinese Sci-fi” – Wang Jingkang, Liu Cixin and Han Song* Written and Translated by Shanky Chandra Harvard-Yenching Fellow, PhD scholar, Centre for Chinese and Southeast Asian Studies, JNU, New Delhi Summary According to an online conspiracy theory, the American author Dean Koontz predicted the coronavirus outbreak in 1981. His novel ‘The Eyes of Darkness’ referred to a deadly virus called "Wuhan-400" - strangely predicting the Chinese city where the Covid-19 would emerge. But the similarities end there: Wuhan-400 is described as having a "death rate" of 100%, developed in laboratories outside the city as the "perfect" biological weapon. Science fiction writers, however, have made a point of doing just that. With the devastating effect of the epidemic and a worldwide rise in state-sanctioned authoritarianism, science fiction has been approaching reality at an alarming rate in recent years. But how do Chinese science fiction writers, who have spent much of their lives writing imagining dystopia, react to ultimately live in one? How does reality match fiction? This translation is based on questions asked to the "three kings" of Chinese science fiction, Wang Jiankang, Han Song and Liu Cixin, who are the best practitioners of the genre, to tell us about their experience of the epidemic in China. Translator’s Note: The Chinese article was originally published as an interview at China Science Writer Association. Later, it was published by the Shanghai Pudong Science Fiction Association and Science Fiction World Magazine, respectively. -

File 770 #158
April 2010 1 2 File 770: 158 Editorial Notes by Mike Glyer File 770 Gets a Hugo Nomination: Wow. After paying such close attention to the Hugo rules changes the last thing I was expecting to happen was for genuine fanzines to take five out of six spots on the final ballot. I certainly thank everyone who helped make File 770 one of them. In 2010 there were 298 nominating votes cast in the Best Fanzine category, about 16% more than last year. Aussiecon 4 set a new re- cord for Hugo nominating votes, so it’s hard to guess whether the uptick in the Best Fanzine category just part of the overall increase, or happened in response to either the rules change opening the category to blogs and websites, or to the campaign to get StarShipSofa nomi- nated . Greater change may follow in 2011 after voters see this year’s nominating statistics and know which ones will benefit from a push. When you look over all the Hugo categories, the importance of constituencies and identity groups in producing votes is self-evident. Heinlein’s Tea for Two: I was feeling especially civic-minded after spending a week blogging about Peter Watts’ trial. I’ve always intended to read Robert A. Heinlein’s Take Back Your Government eventually anyway so I decided to do it now. He might help me think about a citizen’s response to events like this. So I set out to order a copy. First I went to Amazon.com. Three vendors were willing to sell me the 1992 paperback for $52.
