It’s Not Just the Lateness of Industrialization: How and Why Korean SF Doesn’t Quite Work
I should be grading in-class essays, but my guilt at not yet having done so has been assuaged by the fact that another professor in the department, someone above me, confessed to not having graded her midterms either, and not feeling the slightest bit badly about it!

Twelve Hours Later
Curious about the state of SF in China these days. Allow Joel to fill you in at Twelve Hours Later. Definitely my most exciting find online this month.

UPDATE: Simon Owens emailed to let me know that much more is in store for us at Tor. More here.
Religion, Sex, Aliens, and Gustative Weirdness
I just picked up issue 2 of GUD magazine, in PDF form, figuring that if the sample I got for signing up made a pretty smooth conversion to .prc (mobipocket) format, I can probably convert the whole PDF that way too. But I didn’t wait to check out The Salivary Reflex by my friend Tina […]

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
