nu ute:

De flesta nyheter av intresse har nog redan täckts här. Men jag saxar några
saker:
Forrest J Ackerman was posthumously honoured in Los Angeles on 17 November by
the naming and signposting of the corner of Franklin and Vermont Avenues – not
far from his late-life home in Russell Avenue – as Forrest J. Ackerman Square.
John Betancourt announced: 'I'm now managing the estate of author John W.
Campbell, Jr., former editor of Astounding Stories/Analog, author of "Who Goes
There?" [...] I'm going to be writing a sequel.' /Sequel-sjukan slår till.../
Carrie Fisher reveals all too much about what it was like to kiss Harrison Ford
while making Star Wars: 'reading another person's face with your mouth with
dedicated eagerness, swimming with your lips between a particular person's nose
and chin, gently digging for jewels using your tongue as a makeshift shovel ...
fishing face-to-face – like grouper, but without the water, the scales, and
that awful fishy smell. But otherwise ...' /Att Leia och Solo hade litet
kuttrasju under SW-inspelningen har även stått i mondäna blaskor./
Döingar:
Paul A. Carter (1926-2016), US author whose sf began with 'The Last
Objective' (1946 Astounding) and included the notable critical study The
Creation of Tomorrow: Fifty Years of Magazine Science Fiction (1977) and the
1989 novella Iceborn with Gregory Benford, has died at the age of 90.
Massimo Mongai (1950-2016), Italian sf author who won the Urania Award for
his debut novel Memoirs of a Spaceship Cook (1997, with recipes), died on 1
November aged 65.

the 1950s (mostly under the pseudonym Kurt Steiner) and active into the new

filmed Spanish-language Dracula (1931), died on 12 November at the age of 106.
/Det är legendariskt, hur man i ljudfilmens början gjorde flera språkversioner
av filmer!/
Fritz Weaver (1926-2016), US actor whose genre credits include The Twilight
Zone (1960-1961 & 1985), Mission: Impossible (1966-1971), The Day of the
Dolphin (1973), Demon Seed (1977), The Martian Chronicles (1980 tv) and
Creepshow (1982), died on 26 November; he was 90.
/Det trista är att RIP-sektionen - Rest In Peace, alltså - numera är den
största i Ansible. När sf var ungt var alla unga. Nu dör alla./
