Essays, stories, poetry in honour of John & Judith Clute,
By
This review is from: Polder: A Festschrift for John Clute and Judith Clute (Hardcover)
"Polder is a book by friends and about friends, but can be read and deserves to be read by a great many more people than that. It is worth reading for the humour and warmth of its anecdotes; for the high quality of much of its fiction; and for the insights provided by its essays. It does what a festschrift should do: explain why its subjects matter, and make us value them. And it packs a great deal into its relatively few pages-I haven't discussed, for example, the fiction by M. John Harrison (from Climbers), Kim Stanley Robinson ("A History of the Twentieth Century, With Illustrations") and Scott Bradfield ("The Anti-Santa," complete with illustrations by six-year-old Jack Bradfield), or the poems by Tom Disch ("Song of the Rooftops," a reprint) and William Gibson ("Cold War Water," an original composition), or, or, or." - Niall Harrison, senior reviews editor, Strange Horizons
Contributors include: Brian Aldiss Scott Bradfield, Damien Broderick, Ellen Datlow, Tom Disch, Candas Jane Dorsey, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Joe Haldeman, Elizabeth Hand, M. John Harrison, Sean McMullen, Kim Stanley Robinson, Geoff Ryman, Bruce Sterling, Ian Watson, Gary K. Wolfe, Jack Womack, Pamela Zoline. Limited to just 500 copies. |
