  • John Crowley
    John Crowley: An Inventory of His Papers at the Harry Ransom Center Descriptive Summary Creator Crowley, John, 1942- Title John Crowley Papers Dates: 1962-2000 Extent 21 boxes, plus 1 print box Abstract: The Crowley papers consist entirely of drafts of his novels, short stories, and scripts for film and television. Call Number: Manuscript Collection MS-1003 Language English. Access Love & Sleep working notebook and some diaries are restricted. Administrative Information Acquisition Purchases, 1992 (R12762), 1994 (R13316), 2000 (R14699) Processed by Lisa Jones, 2001 Repository: Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin Crowley, John, 1942- Manuscript Collection MS-1003 Biographical Sketch John Crowley, son of Dr. Joseph and Patience Crowley, was born December 1, 1942, in Presque Isle, Maine. He spent his youth in Vermont and Kentucky, attending Indiana University where in 1964 he earned a BA in English with a minor in film and photography. He has since pursued a career as a novelist and documentary writer, the latter in conjunction with his wife, Laurie Block. In 1993, he began teaching courses in Utopian fiction and fiction writing at Yale University. Although Crowley's fiction is frequently categorized as science fiction and fantasy, Gerald Jonas more accurately places him among "writers who feel the need to reinterpret archetypical materials in light of modern experience." Crowley considers only his first three novels to be science fiction. The Deep (1975) and Beasts (1976) take place in futuristic settings, depicting science gone wrong and the individual search for identity and purpose. Engine Summer (1978) amplifies these themes with history, odd lore and arcane knowledge, and extends his work beyond the genre "into the hilly country on the borderline of literature" (Charles Nichol).

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

Reproduced with permission of the authors. Reproduction for classroom use must contain the original copyright. Originally presented as part of a symposium on Science and Science Fiction, National Science Teachers Association national meeting, Boston, MA, March 25-28, 1999. 1. SF can be used to teach science concepts Many stories explain and incorporate science concepts. --Arthur C. Clarke's "Silence, Please" discusses wave interference --Larry Niven's RINGWORLD shows us a Dyson sphere --the setting in Connie Willis's "The Sidon in the Mirror" is based on Harlow Shapley's theory of red giants --H. Beam Piper's "Omnilingual"'s plot revolves around the periodic table --George Gamow's MR. TOMPKINS IN PAPERBACK dreams of relativity and quantum effects --Anthologies such as THE UNIVERSE, THE PLANETS, AND THE MICROVERSE (edited by Byron Preiss) put essays by eminent scients and stories by noted sf authors side-by-side --Hal Clement, a retired high school chemistry teacher, has written a number of stories, including the classic MISSION OF GRAVITY, about all those things you learned in high school science classes. Bad science in science fiction (especially in the movies) can teach science concepts, too. --Why is it impossible for the spaceship in CAPRICORN ONE to make it back from mars in a mere three months? --Why does the strength to mass ratio make King Kong and Godzilla impossible? --What about all those loud explosions in outer space? And those spaceships that bank and turn just like fighter planes? 2.

  • Terry Dowling Interview 2
    Making Strange A Gothic Conversation with Terry Dowling, Australia’s Premier Writer of the Imagination Conducted by Danel Olson A lifelong native of Sydney, Terry Dowling (b. 1947) is an imagier from the planet’s largest island, where is found the largest monolith (Uluru), the biggest living thing (the Great Barrier Reef), and the oldest soil, rocks, and fossils yet to be discovered, along with the people who have longest occupied their traditional territory, the Aboriginal Australians. Small surprise it is that his fiction is acclaimed as surreal and dreamlike, a voyage into the deep outer space in front of us, and best suited for the adventurous. He is a critic and reviewer, an editor, a game designer with a doctorate in creative writing, as well as one of Australia’s most awarded and highly regarded imaginative writers. Engrossed by the mystical movements of the jarring chance encounter, by the mind’s negotiations with the impossible, and by characters’ re-visioning of their worlds, Dowling consistently enchants. His prose evokes the disorientation and wonderment cast from fellow writers of the Commonwealth, living and dead: from England’s John Fowles, Angela Carter, and Patrick McGrath; to Canada’s Robertson Davies, Margaret Atwood, and Yann Martel; to New Zealand’s Witi Ihimaera and Tasmania’s Richard Flanagan. His strange stories from a sunburnt land regularly appeared in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, and his award-winning fiction collections include Rynosseros, Blue Tyson, Twilight Beach, Rynemonn, Wormwood, An Intimate Knowledge of the Night, Blackwater Days, The Man Who Lost Red, Antique Futures: the Best of Terry Dowling, and Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear.
