Memoirs
of Lord Greystoke |

I
have had some problems to correctly place some items in the
bibliography. Two of the three items (both about Tarzan) had originally
been placed before in the Short
Fiction section, but I had put them a long time ago for now
unknown reasons on the pages of Farmer's Non
Fiction.
I'm talking about the pieces: "Extracts
from the Memoirs of Lord Greystoke", "Tarzan Lives"
and "Jonathan
Swift Somers III: Cosmic Traveller in a Wheelchair".
But all three items are definitely fiction: fictional memoirs, a
fictional interview and a fictional biography. No doubt about this. So,
these pieces will finally be placed in the Short Fiction section, the
first of which has been done with the Memoirs of Lord Greystoke. The
others will be done when I'm at that part of the alphabet with
restyling the short fiction pages.

Fourth
Riverworld novel from Tor |
|
|
|
|
25
Nov
2010
Just
received the trade paperback of The Magic Labyrinth,
published by Tor. This is the fourth novel in Philip José
Farmer's famous Riverword
series, long thought to be the final volume in the series.
Farmer himself said so in his foreword, also printed in this edition:
"Now ends the Riverworld series, all loose ends tied together into a
sword-resisting Gordian knot, all the human mysteries revealed, the
millions of miles of The River and the many years of quests and The
Quest completed."
But Farmer wrote a fifth novel to finalize the series, Gods
of Riverworld. This one will be published by Tor early next
year.

PS
Publishing (UK) still has some copies left of the trade
hardcover of The City Beyond Play. The
novel had been started by Farmer, but Danny Adams finally finished it
in 2007.
Originally sold for £10.00 it is now for sale at
£3.99. That is less than you pay for a mass market paperback.
Don't wait, order
your copy now with PS Publishing.

Subterranean
Press received the first review of the new Farmer collection,
Up the
Bright River.
The review is from Publisher's Weekly: "This posthumous collection of
16 works by Hugo winner Farmer (1918-2009) provides an excellent
introduction to the themes that permeated much of his writing, even if
it doesn't include many of his most important stories... [Up the Bright River]
will appeal to both new readers and established fans, especially as
many of the inclusions have not been widely reprinted."
The collection is at the printer and will be published next month. You
can order
your copy for $40 with SubPress.

Back from

At
the end of October we —my wife Frouwke and I— flew
to Vietnam, for a
vacation of three weeks. We traveled in this country several thousand
kilometers, from Ho Chi
Minh City (former Saigon) in the south to Hanoi
in the north. We visited places like the Mekong Delta,
Huê,
Hôi
An, My
Son, Lao Cai
(at the Chinese border), Sapa, Ha
Long Bay and many more.
The Vietnamese are very friendly, the food is generally good to fine
and the country is beautiful. So, we had a wonderful time with many
great impressions, we took lots of photos.
Like this one in Ha Long Bay while on a boat trip.
