Son of a Shakespearean actor, Fritz was at one time an actor himself and a mem ber of his father’s troupe. He made a cameo appearance in the film "Equinox." Fritz has studied many sciences and was once editor of Science Digest. His writing career began prior to World War 11 with some stories in Weird Tales. Soon Unknown published his novel "Conjure Wife, " which was made into a movie under the title (of all things) "Bum, Witch, Bum!" His Gray Mouser stories (which were the inspira tion for the Fantasy Faire "Fritz Leiber Fantasy Award") were started in Unknown and continued in Fantastic, which magazine devoted its entire Nov., 1959 issue to Fritz's stories. In 1959 Fritz was awarded a Hugo, by the World Science Fiction Convention for his novel "The Big Time." His novel "The Wanderer," about an interloper into our solar system, won the Hugo again in 1965.'-His novelettes Gonna Roll the Bones," "Ship of Shadows" and "Ill Met in Lankhmar” won the Hugo in 1968, 1970 and 1971 in that order. -

I was massively grateful to be able to attend, meaning that there was only one of the top echelon team missing from proceedings (Randy Byers), who due to the exigencies of work, would only have been able to flit in for barely two days of Desperate Fun. Them Chungas know their fanac though, don’t they just? Andy Hooper’s sterling contributions to the program in particular and the whole event in general might have led the proverbial Martian drop-in to conclude that it was another of his Corflus after all. -

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. -

“¿Qué Tiene De Documental La Fotografía? Del Fotoreportaje Dirigido Al Fotoperiodismo Digital” Por John Mraz
“¿Qué tiene de documental la fotografía? Del fotoreportaje dirigido al fotoperiodismo digital” por John Mraz Trabajadores Migrantes Mexicanos, carretera en California. Pedro Meyer © 1986/90 Nota a la versión revisada, enero de 2003. Los comentarios provocados por este ensayo -sobre todo la larga y cuidadosamente pensada respuesta del reconocido editor de fotografía John G. Morris- me han motivado a hacer unos cambios a la versión original, en particular del párrafo en el cual escribo sobre la imagen de Joe Rosenthal del alzamiento de la bandera en Iwo Jima. Agradezco a todos los que han tomado el tiempo y han hecho el esfuerzo para criticar mi trabajo. Además, saludo al medio del Internet que nos permite interactuar y así clarificar nuestros argumentos. Unas observaciones iniciales podrían servir para prevenir futuros malentendidos. 1. Mi intención en este ensayo no es ni la de difamar a fotoperiodistas estimados ni la de cuestionar el valor que se requiere para hacer las imágenes que se han vuelto fundamentales para nuestra cultura visual. Los hombres y las mujeres que han perdido sus vidas para traernos las noticias son en sí testimonios que bastan para demostrar el coraje que este oficio requiere. Más bien, el ensayo fue escrito como un componente de un análisis más extensivo de la forma documental, la credibilidad que es su base y la estética realista que se aprovecha de la fe generada por la fotografía como índice (en lugar de ser un ícono o un símbolo). Quisiera examinar la noción muchas veces expresada que la digitalización es la “muerte de la fotografía documental y del fotoperiodismo” al mostrar cuántas famosas imágenes han resultado, de alguna manera, de lo que el fotoperiodista mexicano, Nacho López, describió como "previsualización".
