Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Of Canary Fevers

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 //

Of Canary Fevers

I just received Issue 105 of Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction in the mail today. It's got a ton of great features and reviews, some of which I've been reading during the last few minutes. It also has my 7-page review of John Clute's collection of reviews Canary Fever.

Reviewing a reviewer? Sure, why not? I'll admit, this was one of the most challenging books I've ever reviewed -- and enormously rewarding also.
