    No. 43 December 1972 An Interview With Roger Zelazny (You have asked me to step outside myself, then turn around and interview me. Okay. I’m outside now. I’ll stop right there and start questioning him.) “Tell me about yourself, Z.” “I was born on May 13, 1937 and received my B.A. from Western Reserve University in 1959. I attended Columbia for graduate work and received my M.A. there in 1962, in English and Comparative Literature. For a little over seven years, from early 1962 to early 1969, I worked for the Social Security Administration as a claims representative in Ohio and, in the final four, as a claims policy specialist in the SSA Centred Office here in Baltimore. I have a wife (Judy) and a son (Devin).” “Wait a minute, Z. We just passed a whole generation of psychoanalytic critics and biographers awhile back. What about childhood trauma and all that crap?” “I believe a piece of writing should be considered of, in, by, and for itself, a thing independent of the person who wrote it.” “But you are talking to me. I know where you got that. You wrote nothing but poetry for years—after you got out of high school and started college—and you got hung up on the New Criticism: close textual analysis, and the hell with the guy who wrote it. A touch of end-of-the-century decadence, too. The Symbolists, Firbank... But you were a Psychology major until your final year. You know that writing is a form of bahavior, and as such it invariably bears the mark of its executor.” “Of course.” “So tell us about your childhood hangups.” “No.” “Why not?” “Because I’m a bug on privacy.” “Shyness?” “Some, I suppose.

  • Counterclock # 23
    COUNTERCLCK # 23 INTRODUCTIN If, or perhaps when the sea level rises, Venice and the Netherlands will be the first to join the legendary Atlantis. Who would notice? I would. We don't live many meters above the current sea level ourselves. I was thinking... let's take a look at sf & sf-fandom in the Netherlands before it is completely gone. For any reason. But the Arizona State University has announced a Climate Fiction Short Story contest and even though I am quite sure that global warming occurs, the ulti- mate consequence of it, is that an ice age will follow. And imagining Stockholm under a kilometer thick ice sheet, made me aware that Venice might be rising from the sea, instead of sinking into it. If the sea level would rise 6-8 meters if all the ice on Greenland melted away, then imagine how much sea water would be tied up in ice if all of that which once was under ice, would be under ice again. The Venetians would need to go by car, to get to the beach. And the Dutch (if not under the ice) could walk on dry land to NOVACON. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://climateimagination.asu.edu/clificontest/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The initial indications of participation for this issue were promising. Would a dying fandom show more activity than a thriving one like the Swedish? So it seemed. But more than half into October my hopes went back down. All the fans who once were active are still there and surely, had I used the slightest hint of a whip, then some more contributions would have been made and I could have gloated over the fact CVER ART by: TAIS TENG that a dying Dutch fandom still show more life signs Tais Teng is a pseudonymous Dutch fantasy fiction than a pretty much thriving Swedish fandom.

  • Mr. Monster 3
    ometimes I think Earth has got to be the insane asylum of the universe. and I’m here by computer error. At sixty-eight, I hope I’ve gained some wisdom in the past fourteen lustrums and it’s obligatory to speak plain and true about the conclusions I’ve come to; now that I have been educated to believe by such mentors as Wells, Stapledon, Heinlein, van Vogt, Clarke, Pohl, (S. Fowler) SWright,S Orwell, Taine, Temple, Gernsback, Campbell and other seminal influences in scientifiction, I regret the lack of any female writers but only Radclyffe Hall opened my eyes outside sci-fi. I was a secular humanist before I knew the term. I have not believed in god since childhood’s end. I believe a belief in any deity is adolescent, shameful and dangerous. How would you feel, surrounded by billions of human beings taking Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and the stork seriously and capable of shaming, maiming or murdering in their name? I am embarrassed to live in a world retaining any faith in church, prayer or celestial creator. I do not believe in Heaven, Hell or a Hereafter; in angels, demons, ghosts, goblins, the Devil, vampires, ghouls, zombies, witches, warlocks, UFOs or other delusions and in very few mundane individuals - politicians, lawyers, judges, priests, militarists, censors and just plain people. I respect the individual’s right to abortion, suicide and euthanasia. I support birth control. I wish to Good that society were rid of smoking, drinking and drugs.

  • Lowndes Magazines Delayed
    No. 6 November 1969 Lowndes Magazines Delayed Due to the necessity for a change in printers, the publication of the Health Knowledge magazines, Startling Mystery Stories, Magazine of Horror, Exploring the Unknown and Weird Terror Tales have been delayed three months. As a result the issues which originally were carrying fall dates will now have winter dates. Consequently Startling Mystery Stories #14 will be dated Winter, and Magazine of Horror #30 will be December. Both are expected to be in the mail to subscribers and on the newsstands before the end of October. Exploring the Unknown and the first issue of Weird Terror Tales will re­ tain their original December dates. These issues should also be on sale by the end of October. The difficulties were first revealed when the previous printer failed to ship the issues of Startling Mystery Stories and Magazine of Horror on schedule, around the 20th of July. They first claimed the de­ lay was a result of falling behind, due to their summer vacation sched­ ule — they promised to be up to date by September. In August, when Ex­ ploring the Unknown and Weird Terror Tales also became due, the publish­ er received instead a demand for exorbitant price increases. The publisher refused to pay the higher prices and instead found another printer. After some difficulty the four issues were transferred and the new printer has now completed them. The delay will also affect the next issue of Magazine of Horror-, #31 will be dated February. The change to a new printer also involved the services of a new typesetter.

  • First Fandom Publications0403
    THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings, I hope everyone had a really great holiday season. There are 2 major items that I want to talk about this issue. One is that it is time again to nominate for the Hall of Fame award. Please send me your nominations either by snail mail e-mail or Phone by March 1st. So that a ballot maybe included in the spring issue Scientifiction. There is a list of past recipients in the back of your membership directory for your convenience. The second matter is not a happy one for me. It concerns club dues and the financing of First Fandom. After this latest dues period where dues notices were sent out to the members that owed dues, of that group only 25% of the membership sent in their money. Now, compared to other clubs, $10 is not a lot of money for dues. It gets you a newsletter and voting rights and free memberships to several conventions around the country, including Archon in St. Louis, which extends to First Fandom members 2 free memberships a year. Just this one convention alone is worth the membership dues, as it would cost $50.00 to go to the convention itself. The convention then presents you with a badqe that gets you into the VIP suite so you can have a sandwich and talk to friends quietly. I will be extending the deadline for membership dues till Feb 15th for those that forgot or lost the notice or whatever. Please send your dues to our treasurer Keith Stokes 108th Terrace, Lenexa Ks.
