The latest issue of Ansible is up!
In Spellcheck Veritas. From the Philadelphia Inquirer's feature on Samuel R. Delany: '"His range of characters was unprecedented," said Philadelphia sci-fi and fantasy writer Michael Swankier, author of The Dragons of Babel.' (5 April) Later the piece quotes a curator at the SF Hall of Fame saying that SRD was 'writing in opposition to the golden age of science fiction, with its brassy broads and manly dudes with ray guns' -- an era which, as PI staffer Tirdad Derakhshani helpfully adds, was 'ushered in by Asimov and Heinlein'. Ushered in? H'mm.
