Get out there and enjoy yourself -don’t sit reading pithy prothe! Good. Well, now that Faircon is over, | hope you enjoyed it. We’ve put a lot of thought into the weekend, and hope that you’ve had a goodtime. By | now you should know both our Guests well; just to refresh your Faircon- damagedbrain I'll recap. | Guest of Honour at Faircon ’82 is Harry Harrison. He comes from the USA, and is renowned both sides of the Atlantic as a writer and fan. Harry’s fan history stretches back more years then he’d care to admit - ask him when he first attended a World SF Convention and step back in wonder; ask him, too, about his career as a comicillustrator, and about why Reptilicus was the worst film ever made. Harryis a top-ranking professional, a fan from way back, and a nice guy. Harry Harrison’s wife Joan, will be at Faircon too; get to know her as well! Special Guest is Naomi Mitchison. She comes of a family of remarkable individuals, and is as well known as a mainstream writer as an authorof SF. She’s been around the world writing scene even longer than Harry Harrison, and is inall ways a most unusual person. The number of people who knowheris quite unbelievable - she seems to have been everywhere and done everything. We're very pleased to have two such outstanding guests at Faircon. Make them welcome, and convince them to come back next year - as Members! Inside the Programme Book you'll find a numberofarticles ranging from the serious to the funny. Harry Harrison, Naomi Mitchison, Gordon | Johnson, Nick Lowe, John Brunner, and Jan Sorensenall havetalesto tell or songs to sing; read, and enjoy. But not until after Faircon!

Doing this entails the imaginative gymnastic of geiting into other people’s bodies and minds in these situations. Science fiction means one kind of newsituation and should showits effect on genuinely real men and women. The same goes for historicalfiction (or writing about people ofother cultures). Here it is essential to get social and historical facts of probabilities as minutely correct as possible. I have tried to do this in manybooks, not only on the ancient Mediterranean world, but on Africa or the West Highlands, and perhapsto lead the reader to thinking about these facts, about what they have done to us (or we to them) and the situations in which we mayyet be involved.” Naomi Mitchison As a main-stream writer I find myself looking rather slant-wise on Science Fiction, having only written two S.F. novels out of some seventy others. Whatare all these S.F. guys (and dolls) actually onto? I have had a numberoffriends in the S.F. world, including H.G. Wells and Olaf Stapledon, the earliest of the serious writers. You notice that I have not counted, for instance, Jules Verne; but it seems to me that he doesn’t really count, because he was not thinking in moral terms.

It is a modexn Holiday resort as well as combining a go- ahead industrial centre. If any conventioneers can find time to take a look round Yarmouth, may we suggest that they keep their eyes open for a few of the following sights of interest. Parts of the 14th century defences still stand; they are the North West Tower on the North Quay, the South East and Blackfriars Towers on Blackfriars Road, there is St. Nicholas Parish Church, founded in 1101,. the Medieval Tollhouse, the Old Merchants House and the Tow Hall. Also worth a visit are the Quaysides where all types of Merchant Vessels can be seen. Modern amenities include. a Ten Pin Bowling Centre, Ice Skating, several Cinemas and Theatres, all types of eating houses and, of course, the Pleasure Beach, The areas surrounding Yarmouth are flat end uninteresting when viewed from the road, but take on a far more romantic aspect if seen from the deck of a small craft. We are in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, where some of you may have spent many happy hours.

  • 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.

  • Paul Tomlinson Compiled Harry Harrison: an Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Paul Tomlinson (June 2021) Paul Tomlinson compiled Harry Harrison: An Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography. With fellow author Michael Carroll he created and maintains Harry Harrison – The Official Website and for many years he ran a Harry Harrison news blog. He also writes genre fiction and books about how to write genre fiction. He is a qualified librarian and before becoming a freelance writer he worked in academic libraries and the book trade. His website is www.paultomlinson.org Antoine Tinnion: What did Harry Harrison think of the 2000AD comic version of the Stainless Steel Rat (which many of us Brits loved) I loved it too, the artwork was great. The comics introduced a lot of people in the UK to Harry’s stories and he definitely appreciated that. If anything, he felt the scripts stuck too closely to his books – he felt they should have cut more to keep the plot moving. He’d been a comics writer and artist himself and knew that too many words in a comic slowed things down and hampered the artist. Eva Sable: Is there a particular work of his that fully embodies his strengths as a writer? This is a good question and one I’ve thought about a few times. Harry wrote three kinds of story – fast- paced action-adventure stories or thrillers; humour, and serious science fiction. His best book would be one where he brought all of these things together. The West of Eden trilogy probably comes closest to achieving this, though there is only a limited amount of humour in it.

  • A Modest Proposal by Paul Spencer Before Me Is the Proof That It Can Be Done
    No. 47 Summer 1973 A Modest Proposal by Paul Spencer Before me is the proof that it can be done. A collector’s item for fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Frank R. Paul, and J. Allen St. John, by implication it’s much more. I refer to Vemell Coriell’s facsimile reprint of Burroughs’ The Master Mind of Mars in its first publication, as the lead novel of the 1927 Amazing Stories Annual. Besides photographically reproducing the text pages and the 10 Paul illustrations, it presents Paul’s cover for the Annual, plus the five St. John illustrations and the dustjacket painting from the original hardcover edition. In addition, there’s extensive bibliographic information on all English-language editions to date. If it’s not yet sold out, you can get it for $5 from Vem (6657 Locust, Kansas City, Mo. 64131).
