I have it on good authority that Vector 247 has been sighted in the wild. Or at least in peoples’ letterboxes. The theme this time around is “international sf”. Here’s the damn fine lineup:
Torque Control — editorial
Che Guevara on a Greyhound Bus — translator and editor Marcial Souto interviewed by Ian Watson
The Future That Never Began — Michael Froggatt on Soviet SF
Colourful Stories — Nisi Shawl on African-descended SF
The Search for South African SF — Nick Wood
Bears, Bombs and Popcorn — Judith Berman on cultural source-mining
Archipelago — Dan Hartland on the stories of Zoran Zivkovic
First Impressions — book reviews edited by Paul N. Billinger
The New X: The Walls Are Down, Unfortunately — a column by Graham Sleight
As usual, we’ll be putting some of the articles and reviews up on the website over the next week or two. Of course, to get the whole thing (and Matrix, and Focus), those of you who aren’t already members could just join the BSFA.
Found mine in the letterbox this evening, along with my BSFA bumpf – excellent. Now all I have to do is find time to read the stuff!
Everyone seems to have received their copy of the mailing except me!
Yes, I’m sulking, why do you ask?
