### SCROLL FROM THE NINTH DIMENSION ###

J.G. BALLARD's 1962 fantasy 'The Garden of Time' is the official theme for this month's New York Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit gala, whose guests must presumably make the tough choice between dressing as doomed aristocrats or as the oncoming barbarian horde. (Vanessa Friedman, _New York Times_, 22 April) [DP]

CORY DOCTOROW on certain billionaires who claim to be influenced by sf: 'These people are saying "we finally created the utopia of _Neuromancer_". And I look at them and I go, "I don't think you read _Neuromancer_. Maybe you just played Cyberpunk 2077."' (_Nautilus_, 5 April) [BA]

CHINA MIEVILLE cancelled his acceptance of a literature fellowship at Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (German Academic Exchange Service) owing to this institute's seeming complicity with 'a shameful program of repression and anti-Palestinian racism.' (Xitter, 23 April)

J.M. STRACZYNSKI, introducing a new edition of _Dangerous Visions_, explains the terrible wasteland that was sf before Harlan Ellison: 'For most of their history, the science fiction and fantasy genres were known for stories of vast alien civilizations, far-flung galactic adventures, ragtag groups against an empire ... and for being studiously safe and relentlessly unprovocative. There were exceptions, to be sure: _1984_ by George Orwell, _Brave New World_ by Aldous Huxley, and _A Clockwork Orange_ by Anthony Burgess all being notable examples.' [PDF]

LIZ TRUSS's memoir _Ten Years to Save the West_ (which incidentally 'broke the rules in place for ministers publishing works about their time in office' -- Sky News, 18 April) has been sighted in a City of London bookshop shelved with other 'Sci-Fi and Fantasy'. [SB]

THE DEAD PAST. _10 Years Ago:_ 'Ari Handel, one of the screenwriters of _Noah_, responded to complaints about the film's all-white cast by explaining how diversity leads to extreme uncoolness: "Either you end up with a Bennetton ad or the crew of the Starship Enterprise." (_Independent_) / Peter Jackson's altered subtitle for the third _Hobbit_ movie was not, as I'd expected, _The Battle of the Three Armies_ with a fourth film added to do proper justice to _The Battle of the Other Two Armies_.' (_Ansible_ 322, May 2014)
     _20 Years Ago,_ Jeff VanderMeer was overwhelmed by the ambience of the 2004 Eastercon: 'Blackpool is just one degree away from being _Clockwork Orange_. I've never seen pigeons eating human vomit before. Nor have I seen such a display of flouncing breasts before, and yet been strangely unmoved, given the context. Nor have I ever emerged from a men's room stall before to realize that there were people having sex in the stalls to either side of me before. Nor have ... but the list is too long. I'm in shock.' (_Ansible_ 202, May 2004)
     _30 Years Ago_, 'William Gibson muttered that, working on the _Johnny Mnemonic_ film and meeting a producer, he knew exactly how a virus felt when it met with its own specific antibody.' (_Ansible_ 82, May 1994)

Essex Technical College recently banned _Village of the Damned_.' (_Skyrack_ 67, May 1964)

AS OTHERS STUDY US. _The Best Bait to Use:_ '... science fiction writers have been drawn irresistibly to maps'. (Jerry Brotton, _A History of the World in Twelve Maps_, 2012) [CM]

     _Levitation 2024:_ the Fan Funds Auction etc raised some GBP1000 for EFF, GUFF, TAFF and (thanks!) the _SF Encyclopedia_.
     _Sign of the Times._ Both TAFF and EFF received unusually many ballots lacking the essential donations or voting fees that keep fan funds going. Tut tut.

To see all recent additions go to taff.org.uk/ebooks.php?all&chron.

VOICE OF DOOM. 'A recent _Washington Post_ article indicated that only 12% of the reading public were interested in reading science fiction. A perusal of bestseller lists for science fiction shows an even more alarming truth: the science fiction books that do sell are a shrinkingly small number of reprints, classics and novels that had been adapted into movies. _[...]_ Science fiction is not selling.' (_Typebar Magazine_, 24 March) [RG]

RANDOM FANDOM. _Sandra Bond_'s research into the Ken McIntyre award for UK fanzine artwork (1972-2000) confirms that -- there being no one to pass it on to -- the trophy remains in the hands of its last winner, Sue Mason. _Sic transit._ See the now updated _Fancyclopedia 3_ entry for details of many exciting typos in the engraved award inscriptions.

EDITORIAL. Your editor is perpetually exhausted by maintenance work on the _SF Encyclopedia_, which is now very close indeed to the statistical thrill of 20,000 entries and seven million words, well over three million of them by John Clute; Roger Robinson's tireless work on the Picture Gallery has just taken us past 34,000 cover scans. (sf-encyclopedia.com)

THOG'S MASTERCLASS. _Every Fibre of His Being._ 'I could feel the fibers of my body turning liquid, going limp, rejecting the scent and moisture of her.' (Theodore Roszak, _Flicker_, 1991) [BA]
     _Neat Tricks._ 'The sound of her breath flamed in my lungs ...' (Paul Hazel, _Yearwood_, (1980) [BA]
     _Eyeballs in the Sky._ 'I cast my eye once more through all the branches.' (_Ibid_) [BA]
     _Boo! Hiss!_ '"You fool!" the Druid whispered -- and there was rage in the sibilant sound.' (Henry Kuttner, 'Dragon Moon', January 1941 _Weird Tales_) [BA]
     _Climate Change Dept._ 'They were clever, and being short of water on one side of their globe, with much ice on the other side, they decided to make an explosion to tilt the world and bring the ice in a more direct line with the sun. The idea was good, but it was badly managed. The explosion was too big and there was more ice on the Pole than they knew. This great mass melted in a moment and rushed across the world, overwhelming everything and everybody, to fill a great depression on the other side. This caused the world to wobble, and presently overbalance, so that it fell into a new orbit, farther from the sun, where the water again froze. Now everything is covered with a thick skin of ice.' (Captain W.E. Johns, _Now to the Stars_, 1956)
