CRAMER, Kathryn (Elizabeth)

(1962-)

   US critic and editor; daughter of John CRAMER. She has been involved in various capacities with the NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION since it began in 1988, where she has published some spiky, erudite criticism. She has become deeply involved in arguing the aesthetic case for - and writing - fiction designed for hypertext, including "In Small \& Large Pieces" (1994 The Eastgate Quarterly Review of Hypertext). Her anthologies include two volumes in the Christmas series, both with David HARTWELL: Christmas Ghosts (anth 1987) and Spirits of Christmas (anth 1989); The Architecture of Fear (anth 1987) with Peter D. Pautz (1952-); Masterpieces of Fantasy and Enchantment (anth 1988) with Hartwell; Masterpieces of Fantasy and Wonder (anth 1989) with Hartwell; Walls of Fear (anth 1990); The Ascent of Wonder: The Evolution of Hard Science Fiction (anth 1994) with Hartwell, a huge and ambitious attempt to delineate, and to represent by examples, the scope of HARD SF.
