BUG JACK BARRON & THE LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE

BUG JACK BARRON & THE LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE                               a comparative ebook experiment                             For some time now, I’ve been exploring and experimenting with the exfoliating frontiers of ebook publishing--the business end, the hardware end, the software end. You can read all about it on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE--the complete THE PUBLISHING DEATH SPIRAL and THE FUTURE OF EBOOKS IS NOW.  (http://normanspinradatlarge.blogspot.com/) But on the experimental side of the business end, I’ve been experimenting only with do-it--yourself, and confining myself to titles with computer files I could lay my hands on by hook or from crooks.  Meaning whatever I didn’t write on a computer or couldn’t find a scanned pirated version of could not be made available. But that meant that BUG JACK BARRO...

A CONTACT INTERVIEW WITH ME FROM 1978

This, at least to me, is an amazing interview done with me from way back in 1978 by Joseph S. Zitt, courtesy of  Steve Davidson.  A scanned pdf from what may have actually been a mimeographed fanzine.  The only form in which I could put it here. Contact Interview with Norman Spinrad from 1978 in pdf formant!   Fascinating to see how dead right I was about many things, how optimistically dead wrong about others! Strangely enough, maybe the best interview with me ever, certainly the best through 1978. And still, I think the longest.  This, including the illo, is posted on the Amazing Stories website.

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS SEE THE LIGHT?

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS SEE THE LIGHT? Read it on Christianity Today:                      by Marc Galli In our founding documents, Billy Graham explains that  Christianity Today  will help evangelical Christians interpret the news in a manner that reflects their faith. The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment. The typical CT approach is to stay above the fray and allow Christians with different political convictions to make their arguments in the public square, to encourage all to pursue justice according to their convictions and treat their political opposition as charitably as possible. We want CT to be a place that welcomes Christians from across the political spectrum, and reminds everyone that politics is not the end and purpose of our being. We take pride in the fact, for instance, that politics does not dominate our homepage. That said, we do...

THE SLOW DEATH OF THE ENGLISH SHORT STORY

Here is another freebie short story, A GAME OF TELEPHONE.  I just had the impulse to write it without thinking where to submit it. There seem to be only 3, science fiction magazines left, a couple of crime magazines, and The New Yorker. The only offline paper magazines regularly publishing short stories of any kind.  And what I had written  just for the fun of it was not science fiction or fantasy or a crime story. So I had no choice but to submit it to The New Yorker, not really believing they would buy it, which they didn't. So there was no place left to send it, and I let it lay until I got the idea of posting stories on  NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE as free one time non exclusive gifts, if you can sell a story to a magazine that counts because so few are left, let it at least let be read here while not giving away first exclusive publishing rights.  So here it is.  Reading it again, I réalise it would make very cool half-hour radio play.  But alas, t...

A Norman Spinrad Retrospective

A LONG RETROSPECTIVE ON QUIETUS Here's the text in full, but this is another illustrated piece, so I'm also linking to the full online illustrated version All these interviews and articles in such a short period of time is wonderfully encouraging and greatly appreciated. But also frustrating and infuriating. With all of this, why isn't there an American publisher with the cojones or at least the commercial street-smarts to publish OSAMA THE GUN, WELCOME TO YOUR DREAMTIME, or POLICE STATE? Frustrating, infuriating, and I'm beginning to feel, rather disgusting. rhe full illustrated version The full illustrated version By Any Other Name: A Norman Spinrad Retrospective  Sean Kitching , September 22nd, 2013 08:55 Sean Kitching delves in to the life and work of Norman Spinrad, who having turned 73 last week arguably remains one of science-fiction's greatest authors and enduring characters Norman Spinrad has easily the most fitting surname of any scien...

BUG JACK BARRON SCREENPLAY NOW ONLY $3.00

I'm still offering my original screenplay for BUG JACK BARRON, called “One of the 100 greatest films never made,”  on Amazon after 4 decades, but I'm now reducing the price to $3.00 because the important thing for me is to have this screenplay widely read. BUG JACK BARRON Original Screenplay for $3.00! This is the orginal screenplay adaptation of BUG JACK BARRON I wrote way back in the 1970s under an indie option which never got picked up.  Several options later, BUG JACK BARRON, the novel, was optioned by one Gary Weis, who sold the option to Universal. With the option running out, Universal exercised it, that is, bought the rights to make the film, for Costa Gavras, with a screenplay by Harlan Ellison.  For whatever reasons, they didn’t like the Ellison screenplay, or several others, including this one.  Costa Gavras fell out of the project, and the film has yet to be made, though many, many directors, and producers have tried to get the the rights from U...

 I am often asked for bibliographic and personal details dating  in both English and French.  I do appreciate being asked for such details by critics, journalists, readers, and so forth.  How could I not?  But I don't know the answers myself often, and even when I do, as every writer and so forth will admit, it gets dreary to have to give the same answers to the same questions over and over again.  Believe me the Wikipedias remember more about me than I do myself and they are honest and neutral, if not 100% accurate.       So here they are directly.    And a direct link to all the YouTube videos I've done all by myself--songs, comedy, politics, phony ads, reportage, all lined up with a single direct click.
