    J. Jay Jones commented on the post, Sexism and the SFWA 1 week, 4 days ago

    Hi MD – -

    I’m curious about the parameters of your marketers.

    Personally I don’t have an issue with private collections of erotic art and I don’t think that’s an individual choice…not for anyone to say. […]

    You really have to work hard at keeping up with everything that’s out there. If you’re looking for a quick read, you might try her Hunter of Worlds. It’s an engrossing read you can bang out quick. I’m having a […]

    The next time you look into the night sky, try finding the asteroid, 77185 Cherryh. Admittedly, it’s not an easy task. But it’s […]

    J. Jay Jones commented on the post, Crossroads: “Speculative” Literary Fiction and SF/F Techniques 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    This is an excellent article, Chris. Not only a fabulous survey, but your analysis and questions were well-reasoned. I’ve always believed that fiction is often the best means of revealing a truth. And…loving […]

    Hi Felicity – -

    I think you’ve hit on an astute point. Gender address is a politically-charged element in any culture. Some authors do address new forms of address. Andre Norton, I believe, used to employ […]

    A good, informative review, Gary. She’s a completely new writer for me and I’m glad you pinged my radar about her current and recent works.

    J. Jay Jones commented on the post, Understanding the Sexism of Fantasy 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    Joshua–

    A well written and sober analysis. I have a few differences in my outlook, but support the bulk of your comments. Sex, eroticism, and romance are difficult subjects to pull off because readers always […]

    Interesting article, Morgana. Personally, I thought the woodblock was pretty tame, but I’m non-reactive to most such things. I like erotic art and usually don’t think of it as pornagraphy unless it lacks all grace […]

    J. Jay Jones commented on the post, Jingoism and the Culture of Fear in Star Trek Into Darkness 3 weeks ago

    Well Michael, I’ll try to clarify my comment.

    Just because a movie-goer reads something into a movie doesn’t mean it’s there.

    You can use it as a spring board for discussion, but I really don’t think JJ […]

    J. Jay Jones commented on the post, The Artful Collector: Is it All in the Image? 3 weeks ago

    Your observation about artist terminology was insightful, Jane. I’ve know a few artists and I think some of them see the process of laying a foundation on canvas as part of the process of entering the image into […]

    They’re my favorites, too.

    Hi Morgana–

    You know, I’m sorry, I didn’t even think the book’s availability was going to be a problem. And you’re right. It was much harder to find this book than I’d have imagined. I found one place that […]

About

Amazing Stories was originally published by the Experimenter Publishing Company in 1926 and was the world's first science fiction magazine. Its owner, publisher and first editor was Hugo Gernsback who has been called the Father of Science Fiction. Amazing Stories was published continuously - by different publishers - until 1995. It was resurrected between 1998 and 2000 and again between 2004 and 2005. Now it is back again, published by a new version of the Experimenter Publishing Company, in a new format, with a bright new future awaiting it.
