No sooner do I post on Greg Egan, and start ploughing through the books again, than he points out that Quarantine doesn't work. Well, it works as a book. And so does Permutation City and Distress and Axiomatic and if you could just slow down the clock count in the Autoverse for a wee while, Greg, and let me catch up again...
Or is he? Is that baulstrade broken or not? Is the girl wearing a black or a white dress?
I'll write more about him soon. He was fantastic.
Gollancz has reissued eight Egan books. They look fab. I have in the past sent them up a bit, but, boy, what a lot of good work there is here. I'm going to go through them all now. The new one is out in May. It's called Incandescence.
Haven't posted for a while. Sorry. Very busy. Will try to do better. Lots and lots of books to deal with.
Fawcett: an interesting dead dude here. about whom I write (or will write) here.
We all owe our our lives to people like that, who were engaged in a battle against the USSR. (For good or ill, some of you may say.)
I owe what I am in part to All That Jazz, Bob Fosse's film. Roy Scheider played the Fosse part. He's died, too. I'm awfully sorry about that.
