On the worst winter mornings, when it is cold and perhaps raining (it is California, after all), we keep ourselves going by arguing about politics. We also talk for the entire time, sometimes about swimming, sometimes (I confess) about other swimmers, sometimes about our families, our moods, and always about history. About ten years ago, Cindy talked me into running with her on alternate mornings-cross training is important, she said-so three mornings a week, Cindy and I hoof it together for about an hour. In addition to being a great athlete, my swim coach Cindy is one of the smartest women I know. Reviewed by Edie Gelles (Institute for Research on Women and Gender, Stanford University) New York: Simon & Schuster, May 22, 2001. Orson Welles starred in Black Magic, filmed between late 1947 and early 1948 in Rome, Italy. It seems that Welles fired it big, just to impress the author of a well-paid biography. We know of a vague interest of Welles in the story of outlaw Salvatore Giuliano, and even of a couple of cinematic hypotheses on the subject, but very little about a film commissioned by Mafia boss “Lucky” Luciano. A mysterious episode, so fictional as to make one suspect that it was totally invented. Welles hints at an unproduced film project with a legendary gangster. I could elevate him to the proper position historically” - Orson Welles to biographer Barbara Leaming a few months before his death. I should write it and direct it and act it. “I was chased all over Italy by Charles Luciano - known as ‘Lucky’ by ignorant newspaper readers - in order to persuade me to make the true story of his life. Reworked and integrated, it is presented here in English for the first time.) The following article on Welles and mobster Charles Luciano was first published in 2015 in the film magazine Cabiria n☁80 and in the newspaper La Repubblica. He is the author of several books, including Orson Welles in Italy.

The book was picked up by Saga Press and published last year. Octavia Cade said it was “Ankh-Morpork meets Ambergris… If you like spores, and you like the City Watch, you’ll like this.” It made a significant splash in a self-published edition that appeared in 2019. The Dawnhounds has a fascinating history. Some of my Worldcon 2022 haul (minus all the paperbacks ’cause they took up too much room) Tamsyn Muir says it’s “Part police procedural, part queer fever dream, and part love letter to a city that doesn’t exist.” One of them was The Dawnhounds, an unusual (to say the least) debut novel by Sascha Stronach, a Māori-inspired fantasy about a murdered police officer brought back to life with a mysterious new power, and tasked with protecting her city from an insidious evil. I came away with a number of delightful finds (see the pic below for the bulk of my haul). But it’s still nice to walk the aisles of a major Dealers Room, like the one at Worldcon here in Chicago last fall.

The song was included as a bonus track on the Griffin Records rerelease of the Michael Moorcock and Deep Fix album The New Worlds Fair. Moorcock also recorded and released a single called "Brothel in Rosenstrasse". Moorcock describes Mirenburg as "an attempt to produce an ideal middle European city", and it is believed to be based partly on Prague. Although it takes place in a fictitious location-the free city of Mirenburg, capital of a similarly fictitious independent state bordering Germany called Waldenstein-it is otherwise realistic in content. Unlike other Bek stories, this novel is not a fantasy. The standard German spelling of the name in the novel's title is "Rosenstraße" (Street of Roses). Halál és pusztulás mindenütt ez még a harcokban edzett kapitányt is megrázza. The novel is written as Bek's memoir of a dying, demented man, in which he recalls his time with a bi-sexual teenage nymphet girl and how they take refuge in a superior brothel in a German city under siege during a 19th-century war.
