(I suppose you could call this a "fix-up" bibliography since it is the melding of previously "published" material into a new unified whole. And, in the true van Vogtian tradition, I've not only revised it but I've given it a new title as well.) The last versions of both are still available for download as a single ZIP file for those who would like them for whatever reason. The format of the Compendium has been retained with only a few alterations while adding the bibliographic information of the Database. A section for short stories has accordingly been added. The ugly and outdated Database is eliminated, while retaining all of its positive traits, and the usefulness of the Compendium is drastically improved. No longer will you have to jump between the two while looking something up — all information has been pooled into just one document. This new format's interface is more intuitive, alphabetically arranged rather than chronological, and with all items thoroughly cross- indexed with internal hyperlinks.

  • Eurocon at Trieste by Waldemar Kumming Eurocon I Had About 630 Members
    No. 38/39 July/August 1972 Eurocon at Trieste by Waldemar Kumming Eurocon I had about 630 members. There were about 370 attending memberships, but judging by appearance less than that number of fans were actually at the convention. The fans were scattered in many hotels all over the town. The con activities also took place at various locations. Festival films were shown in the mornings, in a movie theater in the center of the town. Perhaps because of the scarcity of such films, the trend away from straight sf was even more pronounced than in previous years. Among the full-length films there was only one that could really be called an sf film: Silent Running, by the Stanley Kubrick disciple Douglas Trumbull. This won a much deserved award from the film jury. Unfortunately many fans who had come at the start of the convention missed it, since this film was shown during the first days of the film festival, which started much earlier than the convention. Doomwatch from England described strange happenings on a small island, which are finally traced to piles of radioactive waste. The French film Les soleils de Vile de Paques was a borderline case. While the theme of a meeting with extraterrestrials (in the form of fireballs, hence the suns in the title) is certainly sf, it is presented in a mystical and magical way. The central idea is also quite unbelievable: a constellation in the heavens, occurring only every 500 years, and somehow centering on Easter Island, enables the aliens to bridge the gulf to Earth.

    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.

Approximately 1870 people attended. The Convention Centre was certainly sufficient for the convention--overcrowding was not a problem. It was a bit diffuse, however, with a very long walk from the Green Room to the panel rooms, and the bid tables, site selection, and cafe somewhat hidden around a corner. I think they planned to have the rooms open at the other end, onto that area, and then discovered that they could not. The Centre was directly connected to our hotel, which turned out to be useful, because there were escalators in the Convention Centre from ground level to the lobby level, while in the hotel, one had to climb a full flight of stairs to get in.

I doubt that our literary tastes are genetically programmed. Probably, chance events are equally important in influencing our choices. Be that as it may, at age 13 I became a passionate reader of science fiction stories. The triggering event was the birth of a Swedish science fiction magazine, "Häpna!" . (The name means "Be amazed!", no doubt a reference to the magazine "Astounding Science Fiction" .) The first issue in March 1954 contained some riveting stories. In one of them, "Repulsion Factor" by Charles Eric Maine, a scientist has invented teleportation: a physical object is disassembled in a transmitter and sent as information to a receiver where it is reassembled (just as in Star Trek).

  • Robert Silverberg Market Paperback Companies, and I’Ve Known and Dealt with Virtually Every Editor Who Other Spaces, Other Times Played a Role in That Evolution
    $29.95 “IN THE COURSE of my six decades of writing, I’ve witnessed the transition of science- other times other spaces, fiction publishing from being a pulp-magazine-centered field to one dominated by mass- Robert Silverberg market paperback companies, and I’ve known and dealt with virtually every editor who other spaces, other times played a role in that evolution. For much of that time I was close to the center of the field as writer and sometimes as editor, not only deeply involved in its commercial mutations but also privy to all the personal and professional gossip that it generated.All that special knowledge has left me with a sense of my responsibility to the field’s historians. I was there, I did this and did that, I worked with this great editor and that one, I knew all but a handful of the major writers on a first-name basis, and all of that will be lost if I don’t make some sort of record of it.Therefore it behooves me to set down an account of those experiences for those who will find them of value.” — From Silverberg’s introduction ROBERT SILVERBERG is one of the most important American science fiction writers of the 20th century. He rose to prominence during the 1950s at the end the pulp era and the dawning of a more sophisticated kind of science fiction. One of the most prolif- ic of writers, early on he would routinely crank out a story a day. By the late 1960s he was one of the small group of writers using science fiction as an art form and turning out award-winning stories and novels.

  • The Wright Stuff
    Six Pillars of Space Opera Sept 11th, 2013 by Bill Wright. Rob Gerrand and Mervyn R Binns Synopsis This article provides information from different perspectives about six great pioneers of Space Opera, Edward Elmer ‘Doc’ Smith (1890 - 1965) Alfred Elton van Vogt (1912-2000) Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) Jack (John Holbrook) Vance (1916 - 2013) Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger (1913 – 1966) writing as Cordwainer Smith and Arthur Bertram Chandler (1912 – 1984), Most of the following was written by the 2013 DUFF winner, Australian fan Bill Wright. Rob Gerrand contributed his obituary to Jack Vance, who died aged 96 on May 26th, 2013. The science wasn’t always sound, but those six pioneers of SF wrote rattling good yarns, creating universes and peopling them with heroes and villains in an astonishing variety of ways. The information on Bert Chandler was provided by his friend Mervyn R Binns, winner of the Forrest J Ackerman Big Heart Award at Aussiecon 4, 68th Worldcon in Melboure (Australia) in 2010. One of many images of universal destruction that abound in early Space Opera After the trauma of the 1930s Great Depression and World War II, westerns, mystery writing and detective stories no longer satisfied a voracious public demand for escapist literature. Space Opera offered liberation from Earthly concerns – at least in one’s mind – and was embraced enthusiastically by millions. The atomic bomb had demonstrated the power of science, albeit most people were hazy about the scientific method if they had heard of it at all. That changed with education, which improved greatly from and including the 1960s.
