Midnight Pals: Kitsunes in love

Neil Gaiman: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the kitsune in love Kij Johnson: oh this sounds great Lafcadio Hearn: AHEM Hearn: i'll be the judge of that Hearn: you baka gaijin Gaiman: this is a tale of that ineffable madness that seizes the young and emboldens the old, cruel in its kindness and kind in its cruelty Gaiman: beautiful in its ugliness and ugly in its beauty Gaiman: i speak, my friends Gaiman: of love Gaiman: simply love

Gaiman: i speak of love as a singular force spiraling through the cosmos, unemcumbered by modular time Gaiman: love which speaks in gentle tones but will not be denied Gaiman: so powerful as to make a pauper of a king and a king of a pauper

Gaiman: to understand my story, you must remember the feelings of love Gaiman: to feel in the depths of that frenzy, unable to breathe for feelings too big to contain Gaiman: do you understand? can you feel it? King: Poe: Barker: Lovecraft: Koontz: Gaiman: then i'll begin

Gaiman: so it came to pass in the mysterious cloudlands of the distant east that a kitsune and a badger made a bet- Hearn: IT'S NOT A BADGER YOU BAKA GAIJIN Hearn: IT'S CALLED A TANUKI Hearn: GET IT RIGHT! Hearn: GET IT RIGHT!!!

Yoshitaka Amano: hey i illustrated your story, what do you think? Gaiman: huh, good but Gaiman: could you make the figures more wan? Amano: which ones? Gaiman: oh you know Gaiman: all of them Amano: ok how's this Gaiman: no no Gaiman: more wan

The clouds overhead are purple in their heart, but soaked in brilliant sunshine from the west. There will be a storm soon. I find myself idly looking forward to this: autumn thunderstorms have always been a delight.

He had been a man like so many, so wrapped and rapt in his own story that there was no room for the world around him except as it served his own tale.

Book release event tonight in LFK!

The Privilege of the Happy Ending: Small, Medium, and Large Stories, by Kij Johnson

At 7:00pm tonight, the Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas, will host the official book release of Kij Johnson's newest collection of brilliant short fiction.

This weekend, Kij is also Author Guest of Honor at the World Fantasy Convention in Kansas City, if you can't make tonight's event but are going to be at WFC and want to meet her.

This is Kij's sixth public book release event and something like her eighth book (more if you count ebook-only books, and even more if you count gaming and other books). Her work has won the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards among others, and been short-listed for many more. Her writing is varied and diverse not only in the spec-fic genres, but also reaches far into the mainstream experimental realm.

She's also one of the Ad Astra Institute's directors, and served our forebear spec-fic centers at the University of Kansas for decades.

If you cannot attend either event but want to get a copy of the book, you can order directly from the Raven in trade paper or get the hardcover (of course they're also available from big booksellers like Amazon).

I say this and it is short and sharp, without elegance, like a bark; but I have no idea how else to start. I am only a fox: I have no elegances of language.

Michail A. Bulgakov - Lettera all'«egregio Iosif Vissarionovič» e ad altri

  EPISTOLARIO DI UN DECENNIO Michail Afanas’evič Bulgakov La vita di Michail Bulgakov, come quella di tutta la sua generazione, non fu scarsa di traumi, dei quali l’opera sua e dei suoi contemporanei migliori fu il segnalatore piú sensibile. E la rivoluzione del 1917 fu, tra gli eventi traumaticamente epocali, il piú intenso e rilevante. Ma per chi valicò il confine del 1917, in Russia una…
