From LISTSERV@listserv.uic.edu Fri Aug 25 10:56:31 2000 Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2000 12:53:36 -0500 From: "L-Soft list server at University of Illinois at Chicago (1.8d)" To: Laura Quilter Subject: File: "FEMINISTSF LOG9912E" ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 13:43:06 -0600 Reply-To: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" Sender: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" From: Todd Mason Subject: AV Club Comments: To: Multiple recipients of list SF-LIT , Multiple recipients of list Comments: cc: "HORROR@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 1) Kurt Vonnegut has a collection of readings currently available from Harper Audio, which (honestly) bears the label "science fiction" without anyone apparently kicking up much of a fuss. A blurb from Isaac Asimov also graces the package...they probably could've gotten a more enthusiastic blurb from Harlan Ellison (who apparently has recorded at least one new Ben Bova novel in its audiobook version). I am slightly pleased at the current extent of the slow trickle of Caedmon recordings being reissued by Harper, which bought Caedmon a decade or so ago, but still wait for, say, the complete recordings of Jean Cocteau's THE INFERNAL MACHINE, Sartre's NO EXIT, Ionesco's RHINOCEROS (with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder), or MARAT/SADE, but at least the only (?) original (?) cast recording in any medium of (WEIRD TALES discovery) Tennessee Williams's THE GLASS MENAGERIE, along with a smattering of the other full-cast dramas Caedmon had out for several decades, are now available at reasonable prices on cassette (looking forward the CDs, I am, and how quickly I'd snap up their version of AH, WILDERNESS! or LONG DAY'S JOURNEY...). Dare we dream of HA putting Sturgeon and a few other sf folk reading their work back into print? Finding the old Alternate Worlds Recordings back in print would be nice, too (Ursula Le Guin, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison--who has rerecorded most or all of his materials for his HE Record Collection, Joanna Russ, et alles). HA do have some Poe and Robert Graves poetry back in print, and being no fools, have repackaged the Caedmon Tolkien items and kept them available for a while, now. (Can't wait for some more of the old Vincent Price horror-fiction readings, as well...) 2) The new telefilm of FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON hits the screens of CBS viewers 20 February 2000 (9 pm ET), barring the flood. Thus does X-FILES get some (we can hope) creditable sfnal competition. ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 14:49:18 -0600 Reply-To: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" Sender: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" From: Todd Mason Subject: Stephen King interview (from 1992) broadcast on today's FRESH AIR (NPR) Comments: To: Short Mystery Fiction , "horror@listserv.indiana.edu" Comments: cc: "sciencefiction-l@listserv.indiana.edu" , Multiple recipients of list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Maurice Sendak as well.
