Bad Research Day
I've had those days in the library, when it appears that someone must be ahead of you, having taken out all the books you want.
I don't often have them at home. Somewhere along the line, I've lost a copy of Science Fition Studies - I suspect it went to work to be photocopied. Nine times out of ten that's the one I need - but today it was an Extrapolation from 1990 that I'm lacking. I have three of the four issues; I suspect I never have the fourth. Or, and cleary writing on Thom Disch is a gap in the critical market. Two or three articles, a PhD, but not much.
And where is my copy of that book by Clute? Uh, Strokes. I must have used it for something, and it didn't get put back. Later, found, on the shelf above my bed, spine turned in for extra invisibility.
I need to wrestle the early Extrapolations and JFAs into order. The office needs a major attack of tidying before the word is much older.
Oh look, two copies of The Black Angel, but I suspect each was a quid. Donate to Oxfam unless anyone here yells?
