NORMAN'S ALIVE!!!!
« on: May 21, 2010, 07:45:45 AM »
Spinrad, that is. As in the author of Bug Jack Barron, The Iron Dream, the ST:OTS episode "Doomsday Machine" and many other wonderments.
From his webpage:

Answered Prayers??
I’m less than 24 hours out of surgery and so not in condition to write at length, but I have to tell y’all that it went better than 100%. The surgeon in effect did the job he wanted to do after much more chemo, took out the tumor and a suspicious lymph node, didn’t take my whole stomach.. Thanks to y’all for your prayers of all kinds and degrees. More when more able.

50 reads? And no comments? Really?

That's just sad, people.

Didn't Norman Spinrad use to write for Starlog?

To Hell with Norman.  Congrats on the success in surgery.

Glad he survived, in any case.

Looked him up and it's promising hope they have some of his books at the library.  Happy he's okay

He writes well for someone just out of surgery. Glad they didn't take all of the stomach, that would have been terrible.

Just saw and just read and still have no idea or opinion on the bloke.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
