More fiction reviews

[rivkat]

We saw Gypsy tonight. Bernadette Peters had the promised star power, though the show didn't impress me much as a musical. It's a big Broadway week for us -- we see Avenue Q, the Sesame Street parody, on Friday.

I've read some books.

Ah, fandom.

Funny you should mention this. I've got three boxes of old Trek zines in my office right now, and a couple of them have essays and fiction by one Lois McMaster, all from the early 70s.

Also, and to my mind more interesting, Lee Burwasser. I had had no idea she was involved in fandom that long ago. ::sigh::

Speaking of LMB.....

Jack Randall escapes from a Farm, where clones are stored until their originals have a trauma that requires a new body part, with a bunch of the clones

Since this references Bujold (to me), I hope he can at least make me cry. The stories set on Jackson's Hole in the Vorkosigan 'verse are my favorites. Thanks for the review of Spares, Rivka.

I'm amused -- I just got Promethea 3 & 4 and Top Ten 1 & 2 myself last week. I like Promethea's premise better on the whole, but the magical mystery tour of the Kaballah drags something awful. Top Ten, to my surprise, was just a hell of a lot of fun--very tightly plotted, which helps.

She must have Mame on her list next. Unless it's Dolly Levi.
