We suggest, but do not demand, one of the following approaches:įor younger scholars, critics or fans: Choose one of the listed texts, read it carefully, and write a paper detailing your experience of this work of “classic” SF. You are free to choose a novel that wasn’t nominated, or a shorter work, or film, television, comics, etc., or a work from 1970 or 1972, if that is where your interests lie. While we view as questionable and often problematic the concept of a “canon,” and note that the groups of fans and critics that nominated and awarded the following texts were demographically unrepresentative by the standards of 2021 (as were their authors), these works were, nevertheless, considered worthy of attention and esteem at the time, though most have fallen into comparative obscurity by now. As a jumping-off point, we suggest consideration of one or more of the Hugo and Nebula nominees for Best Novel, listed here: The SFRA Review requests papers centering on texts, broadly defined, that were considered influential fifty years ago in 1971.

In celebration of Black History Month, Global Citizen is highlighting some of the women whose massive contributions were crucial to the Civil Rights Movement.

(“I have since eaten foie gras with great enjoyment and very little guilt,” she notes.) She maps out her emotional associations with her favorite foods - Venetian croissants, sautéed mushrooms, McDonald’s fries and so on - in a breezy clear-line style, lingering over treasured moments, like resting her hand against Richard Serra’s “Tilted Arc” during a catering gig. It’s a memoir with only the slightest hints of conflict or struggle, apart from an early scene in which young Lucy is attacked by a flock of geese. ![]() She grew up with a mother who worked for David Bouley and an uncle who ran a gourmet shop the cover of RELISH: My Life in the Kitchen (First Second, paper, $17.99) shows her lifting an olive to her open mouth, her eyes closed in elated anticipation. ![]() Lucy Knisley has eaten well all her life, and everything she tastes is apparently a madeleine for some happy memory. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Linnea sterte stages of rot![]() I’m leaving out some of the comics he’s made, just mentioning my personal highlights. ![]() Some of the same strange people and artists that lurked around Alt.Coffee would appear in this comic.Ī few years ago he made a very fun graphic novel called The Wrenchies which was about a bunch of gangs of teenagers in a dystopic future. His first mature work was a series called Pop Gun War about a little black boy with angel wings who flew around a fantasy version of Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. ![]() I don’t think he was still an ardent church goer by the time I met him, but I think that much like punk, Christianity is a great thing to experience but not get stuck in. After a few years of friendship he gave me a copy of his first published comic, a 3D Christian comic called Behold 3D. Farel grew up pretty seriously Christian and remained that way for at least a short time into his time as a New Yorker. He would sit behind the counter at Alt.Coffee drawing things and selling coffee to some of the oddest people I’ve ever known in a version of the neighborhood that hasn’t existed for at least fifteen years. He was this all American guy from Oklahoma with an eternally boyish face perched atop a tall man’s body. Farel worked the counter at Alt.Coffee in Manhattan’s East Village. I first met Farel Dalrymple back in 2001 when I was eighteen. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments The Sport of Kings by C.E. Morgan![]() ![]() ![]() These critics should admit at least one thing about The Sport of Kings: it has revealed a glaring lapse in America’s cross-regional literacy. ![]() Morgan’s novel is without question the year’s most ambitious (so far), but whatever its faults and glories, I’ve noticed a regional hesitance, an unsure hand on the part of its critics, who either read it as a caricature of Kentucky (it isn’t) or somehow as if it could take place anywhere (let’s say Ohio). What results is an ambitious, beautifully written, and melodramatically plotted thing, a book that sweeps the reader into the alien corn. ![]() But as it trails the Forge family throughout its history, the novel also documents the wrongs they perpetrate against others - from their slaveholding past to their rotten present. Numbered among those concerns, anyone familiar with the region will know, is the sport of horse racing, and along these lines, the novel tells the story of the Forge family - from the self-educated patriarch John Henry to his son Henry and his granddaughter Henrietta - and their attempt to breed a thoroughbred on the level of Secretariat. It is a vast and audacious and self-conscious regional novel, one that is tied to the land, history, and social concerns of Central (or East-Central) Kentucky over many generations. Morgan’s second novel, The Sport of Kings, is an oddity among recent American fictions. ![]() |
