Through the Looking Glass (or Musings on Books): October 2005
http://mewsingonbooks.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Through the Looking Glass (or Musings on Books). A blog about genre fiction. Monday, October 31, 2005. Remaking the God of Love. I'm not sure what to make of Justina Robson's latest novel, Living Next Door to the God of Love. It is undeniably a fantastic read and stylish. It is undoubtedly true. The problem for me was that I needed to be around a quarter the way through before the universe fell into place for me. Perhaps it is just me. Justina is a great stylist, just look at Natural History - to my mind...

Through the Looking Glass (or Musings on Books). A blog about genre fiction. Friday, July 29, 2005. An introduction of sorts. I'm currently reasearching a history of fantasy in children's literature. Why? Quite simply, I'm curious. I read it as a child and still read it in between other novels. Is the literature a format for this debate and, if yeah or nay, how has it developed? No doubt there will be book reviews and random thoughts posted to the blog in due course. Posted by iain at 12:32 PM. I am a re...

http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2005/11/two_views_cit.shtml
Reviewed by Geneva Melzack and Iain Emsley. Breathing Change by Geneva Melzack. Air is the mass media. Air is television and the internet. Air is commerce and fashion and globalised culture. Air is change and it is coming to Chung Mae's village. Why invent a new technology when it's already out there and happening? Is the way in which he has succeeded in encapsulating so many contemporary global issues into this single event of the introduction of the Air technology to the village of Kizuldah, dramatisin...

Through the Looking Glass (or Musings on Books). A blog about genre fiction. Friday, May 26, 2006. The New World Order according to Ben Jeapes. Growing up, when did you first get interested in SF/Fantasy? I used to think it was an over-abundance of Trek. And that’s what I told everyone. Then eBay came along and I bought some old Countdowns. Out of curiosity. Countdown. The spaceship designs were cribbed (with acknowledgment) from 2001, but the story eight years before Blake’s 7. And yes, they were all sc...
