Notes on Contributors

Michael Andre-Driussi was born in California in 1962 and has lived there ever since, except for those two years spent in the Japanese interior, just before the bubble burst. He got into small press publishing with both a book (Lexicon Urthus) and a magazine (Aberrations, now defunct), a habit that has proven very hard to break. His fiction has appeared in Interzone, Pirate Writings, Tomorrow, and The Silver Web; his essays have been published in The New York Review of Science Fiction, Extrapolation, and Foundation.

Robert Borski lives in the same American Midwest as Gene Wolfe and continues to maintain a website devoted exclusively to The Fifth Head of Cerberus. His fiction has appeared in Analog, Cosmos, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction; and his essays in The New York Review of Science Fiction. Rumors that he's also written a 60,000 word treatise on The Book of the New Sun are probably spurious.

After eight years as a geographer, Jeremy Crampton has just written his second ever piece on sf, a chapter on Philip K. Dick for an edited volume on the geography of sf. He can be reached at ubikcan@yahooNOSPAM.com (remove NOSPAM).

Nick Gevers was born in Oxford in 1965, and has lived in South Africa since 1970. His lifelong interest in speculative fiction led to two higher degrees from the University of Cape Town: an MA for a dissertation on Gene Wolfe in 1991, and a Ph.D. in 1997 for a study titled 'Mirrors of the Past: Versions of History in Science Fiction and Fantasy'. He has taught courses on SF and utopian literature, he has chaired the Science Fiction Society of Cape Town, and his critical articles, reviews, and author interviews have appeared in such publications as The Journal of Literary Studies, The New York Review of Science Fiction, Interzone, Nova Express, Foundation, and Infinity Plus.

Jonathan Laidlow currently works as Web Development Co-ordinator for the Schools of Law and Humanities at the University of Birmingham. He recently completed his collection of UK first editions of the Book of the New Sun and is reasonably happy.

Nigel Price is a freelance writer and editor. He is a partner in The Moor House Partnership, a human resources and communication consultancy, and lives in Wiltshire, England, with his wife and two children.

Peter Wright is a Lecturer at Edge Hill College of Higher Education and a Teacher of the University of Liverpool, where he teaches Science Fiction, Utopian and Dystopian Fiction, Film Studies and Narratology. His doctoral thesis, entitled 'A Conundrum Wrapped in an Enigma: Rereading Gene Wolfe's The Fictions of the New Sun', forms the basis of Attending Daedalus: Gene Wolfe, Artifice and the Reader, a forthcoming study of Wolfe's fiction from Liverpool University Press. He has written articles on Wolfe, Edgar Rice Burroughs, the British Post-Alien Intrusion Film, and Dr Who: The Movie.
