Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Locus for Breakfast

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

Locus for Breakfast

Barry Malzberg has won the 2008 Locus Award for his outstanding nonfiction collection, Breakfast In The Ruins. I voted for the Hugos online a couple of nights ago--I think it's clear who I voted for in the nonfiction category. Let's make this Malzberg's Hugo year!!

Also, I was excited about Ellen Datlow's win--she's been consistently producing top-notch anthologies for a while, and some "recent items," like Inferno and the Del Rey antho, are impressive indeed. Hey, the former featured Lucius Shepard and latter a new Malzberg story. What more could I ask for?
