  • World Literature
    world literature Peter Harrington london This catalogue celebrates the international conversation that is literature, and the creativity that can spark when writers and texts cross national, linguistic, and cultural borders. For his lifelong commitment to literary internationalism, Jorge Luis Borges is a key figure here. One of the star items is Borges’s own annotated copy of Dante (20). Another is a man- uscript of the only poem he composed in the English language (17). We also have a scarce signed set of his Biblioteca de Babel series (21), which brought the great short stories of world literature to a South American audience. Many other items connect notable authors across place and time: Dylan Thomas’s school- boy copy of Omar Khayyám (item 179), T. S. Eliot’s Rimbaud (61), and E. M. Forster’s Chek- hov (41), for example. Among international presentations, Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose to García Márquez is a show-stopper (58), as is García Márquez inscribing One Hundred Years of Solitude to his English publisher (67). A compelling example of international readership is found in a first American edition of Moby Dick being read by a poet in Hawaii who correspond- We are exhibiting at these fairs: ed with Melville (127).

  • Interview with Firesign Theatre Member Phil Proctor
    The following interview with PHIL PROCTOR, of the Firesign Theatre, was conducted by the Library of Congress on September 15, 2015. Phil Proctor LOC: How did Firesign Theatre first come to be signed to Columbia records? Well, we were doing a radio show of Peter Bergman’s at KPFK in LA which I became involved with in a very strange way. I had first come out to Los Angeles with a musical called “The Amorous Flea,” for which I won a “Theater World” award and then I returned to New York to perform on Broadway in “A Time for Singing” and “A Race of Hairy Men” by Evan Hunter, where I understudied Brandon DeWilde. Brandon and I became close friends and decided to drive out to Los Angeles together. Through Brandon I met Peter Fonda and we sort of became the “Three Musketeers.” At the time, Peter was working on a little movie idea he called “Captain America” but he couldn’t get the rights to that title so he renamed it “Easy Rider.” And he was doing research on the youth movement, so we went down to the Sunset Strip one night to became part of a protest against a curfew law which then turned into the Sunset Strip Riots. At one point, we joined a sit-down, a sit-in—and I found I was sitting on a copy of the “LA Free Press.” So, I pulled that out from under my butt and I realized I had sat down on a picture of Peter Bergman interviewing returning Vietnam War vets for KPFK Pacifica Radio.

  • 2015 Mark Time Awards Include Jerry Stearns, Brian Price and William Stout
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Audio Production Awards Established to Honor The Firesign Theater’s Comedy and Satire Legacy FREELAND, WA – January 23, 2015 – The most prominent awards worldwide for original radio drama – The Mark Time Awards – are adding four new awards to honor the historic contribution of The Firesign Theater to radio and audio production. The new awards and the long-established Mark Time Award for the year’s best science fiction production and the Ogle Award for fantasy/horror will be presented during the 2015 HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City, Missouri June 12th. “With these four new awards, we are celebrating a renewed interest in audio arts, which are thriving in the first decades of the 21st century in part because of the huge popularity of streaming and digital media,” said Judith Walcutt, Chief Executive Officer of Otherworld Media, which recently was selected to administer the Mark Time Awards. For the past 30 years, Otherworld Media has produced award-winning audio plays, radio broadcasts, and educational programming. The new Mark Time awards honoring The Firesign Theater are: The Nick Danger Prize for the best audio production in the mystery/detective fiction category, which is named after Firesign’s famous satire of radio detectives of the 1950s. The original “Nick,” Phil Austin, and his wife Oona will be part of the judging team. The Bradshaw, an award named after the late Peter Bergman’s cop character in the Nick Danger episodes, will be given for “service to the field” and chosen by the MTA’s advisory board. ! 1! The Betty Jo (But Everyone Knew Her as Nancy) prize honors the multi-gender vocal skills of Phil Proctor and will be awarded for best performances.
