    Praise for Pleasantville “To say that Locke’s debut, Black Water Rising—ambitious, socially committed and beautifully written—created a stir is almost to understate the case, and one wonders if it weighed heavily on her shoulders that she would be obliged to deliver something equally impressive as a follow-up. She did just that with The Cutting Season and now we have Pleasantville . Pleasantville is every inch as impressive as its predecessors, with a new nuance and complexity burnishing the narrative . the next time you find yourself in the company of a crime reviewer, don’t bother asking who you should be reading. You know the answer: Attica Locke” Independent “Pleasantville is another superb example of Locke’s personalised genre of African-American political thrillers, as a murderous mayoral race in Houston in 1996 exposes an attempt at social engineering in the 1940s. In a crowded field in which even stars follow traditions, Locke has the feel of a true original” Mark Lawson, Guardian “In Pleasantville, Attica Locke returns to Jay Porter, the black lawyer hero of her magnificent first novel,Black Water Rising. This one is just as good” Marcel Berlins, The Times “Locke’s novel offers a beautifully detailed character in ‘Jay Edgar Porter’, a bereaved father struggling to cope with his loss. The story also has a fascinating political angle in the dirty-tricks campaign, aimed at disrupting the power of the black voting bloc and prefigures the Rove-Bush strategy in the 2000 presidential election. All told, it’s a gripping blend of the personal and the political” Declan Burke, Irish Times “It’s a fascinatingly complex setting and Locke maps it with great skill, charting the struggles of her characters as the crime remains unsolved .

  • A Conference for Science Fiction Writers
    #sci4scifi A Conference for Science Fiction Writers Proudly supported by the A Conference for Science Fiction Writers Sunday, 10th September, 2017 8:30am to 5:00pm The Royal Society of Victoria 8 La Trobe Street, Melbourne “I was in China in 2007, at the first party-approved science fiction and fantasy convention in Chinese history. And at one point I took a top official aside and asked him Why? SF had been disapproved of for a long time. What had changed?” “It’s simple, he told me. The Chinese were brilliant at making things if other people brought them the plans. But they did not innovate and they did not invent. They did not imagine. So they sent a delegation to the US, to Apple, to Microsoft, to Google, and they asked the people there who were inventing the future about themselves. And they found that all of them had read science fiction when they were boys or girls.” Neil Gaiman, Lecture for the Barbican in London, 14 October 2013 Our first ever “Science for Science Fiction” writers’ conference kicks off this year at the historic Royal Society of Victoria. We will provide current and aspiring authors with expert insights on the finer points of the writer’s craft from some of Australia’s finest SF authors and editors. Spend a day learning new techniques for honing your craft and learn to pitch your big idea to literary agents and publishers. In Chinese author Liu Cixin's “Three We will also get your imagination firing from a foundation of solid Body” trilogy, the entire solar system is flattened into a two-dimensional science.
