Jag har nog täckt mycket av nyheterna i postningar på SKRIVA, men några extra
noteringar (från Ansible):
On 23 June, asteroid 5099 was officially named Iainbanks by the International
Astronomical Union 'and will be referred to as such for as long as Earth
Culture may endure.'
The city council of Providence, Rhode Island, voted to give the name H.P.
Lovecraft Square to the intersection of Angell Street, where HPL lived for
years, and Prospect Street, home of his doomed character Charles Dexter Ward.
(Providence Journal, 17 July) [PDF] Eldritch geometries and blasphemous ichor
are surely to be expected.
Awards:
Branford Boase, for both author and editor of a UK novel for children of 7 and
up: Dave Shelton ed. David Fickling, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat. [MPJ]
Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery for neglected authors: Wyman Guin, best known for
'Beyond Bedlam'
Mick Farren (1943-2013), UK writer and rock musician who wrote two dozen genre
books beginning with the counterculture-steeped and proto-cyberpunk The Texts
of Festival (1973) and the DNA Cowboys trilogy died after a heart attack on
stage while performing with his group The Deviants on 27 July. He was 69.
Linn's Stamp News (27 May) reports that under a new US Post Office marketing
manager, commemorative stamp plans 'no longer include likely poorly selling
subjects like science fiction.' The planned Asimov, Bradbury, Dick, Heinlein
and Herbert stamps, first postponed until 2014, may never appear.
