NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION

NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION
   US critical magazine, published Dragon Press, Pleasantville, New York; ed (in 1995) by Kathryn CRAMER, L.W. CURREY, Samuel R. DELANY, David G. HARTWELL, Robert J. Killheffer, Gordon Van Gelder and Donald G. Keller; current; monthly, beginning with the trial issue (\#0) Aug 1988 and \#1 Sep 1988. It had reached \#79 by Mar 1995. Too highbrow and professional - manyof its staff being sf/fantasy writers and publishers - to be called a FANZINE, too informal to be called an academic journal, NYROSF is asomewhat unusual critical SEMIPROZINE. It publishes general articles of remarkably varying quality on sf, as well as some of the best long reviews in the field. Its tone is far from homogeneous; it moves disconcertingly (and fast) from chatty to pompous, and there is something to irritateeveryone. But, as one might expect from the very well informed staff producing its 24 large-format pages a month with astonishing regularity, it is also irreplaceable. Certainly its coverage of GENRE SF and FANTASY is both wider and deeper than anything in the academic journals with the possible exception of FOUNDATION: THE REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION.
