    I have only just discovered this blog, and am still testing water.It is good,good,good to know that some of the old-guard new-wave warriors are still around and kicking.Yourself kicking harder than ever it seems.Moorcock and Delaney are still around, but producing stuff that for me at least is too intellectual and obscure.I can tell you that the Void Captains Tale is a book i,ve read over a dozen times since first discovering it in 2003.For some reason i don,t know why i,ve never read Child of Fortune, but intend to do so very soon.The only other Spinrad books i have, are Jack Barron,No Direction,and Raising Hell. I think i feel instinctively that much of your work might be too serious and heavy for a bubba like myself.It is the flamboyantly,prismatically explosive, operaticism of works like Void Captain that blow the mind ,that stimulate,arouse and energise.Such works fire one up , and in that sense they politicize.Cos works like that give you something to fight for and preserve the freedom and culture that produced such an indulgent and somewhat undisciplined masterwork.Let me conclude by saying that even i, realise i gotta grow up and tackle some of the less fantasy-based Spinrad work if i seriously want to explore the ouevre, which i do.As for undiscipline, creatively speaking, that never has and never will be a bad thing.

    Mr. Spinrad - I just had an enormous flash of realization of how the media wars in both Little Creatures and A World Between are being realized with the dawning of creative technologies not dreamed of (except by folks like us) when you wrote them. CGI and Deep Fakes, and the perfect manipulation of images that is becoming possible, are having direct-input effects on our brains. I just watched the supposedly benign movie musical Spirited . . . The quality, and the psych-hospital level of emotional manipulation pulled off with amazing power and expertise, put me right on Pacifica. Thank you for being in my head - so many lesser writers have tried.

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.

                                   QUARANTINE                               by Norman Spinrad  If it wasn’t the best of times, at least it wasn’t the worst of times, or something like that, which is the opening line of a novel called A TALE OF TWO CITIES, and it seemed like this would be only a tale of one. Back in the day before the Quarantine, Manhattan island was the heart and soul and pocketbook of New York City, to the extent that New York could have been said to have all three, Wall Street, Greenwich Village, Broadway and 42nd Street, and all that jazz. When you saw a movie or a TV show or an ad featuring New York, the Big Apple was Manhattan, not anything in what some visiting Californian must have dubbed the “Outer Boroughs,” the moral equivalent of Anaheim or Eagle Rock as far as a Hollywood wise guy was ...

           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

NORMAN SPINRAD SINGS ONLY CHAOS IS REAL AT CIRQUE ELECTRIQUE IN PARIS

ONLY CHAOS IS REAL PERFORMANCE Not that I'm planning to ever give up my day job, but I've had a long slow minor career with music, something around a dozen songs written or co-written, something less than  that creating and recording, occasional live performances too such as this one, my best I think. ONLY CHAOS IS REAL is the title song of a Heldon album, lyrics by my me, music by Richard Pinhas.  Something of a success, but I didn't sing it on the record, the melody was not quite what was in my head, so I always wanted to sing it live myself before an audience and this is it.                                  Here are the full lyrics:                                                                    ONLY CHAOS IS R...

JIHADHIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME

                 JIHADIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME                             It's World War III, and we are in it.        Al Qaida in Pakistan, Al Qaida in the Mahgreb, Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Taliban, whoever, wherever, these groups and franchises operate, they're called "militants," in government lingo, in newspaper, news sites, and TV news, they're called "militants."         But "militant" denotes a level of passion, dedication, and ruthlessness, not even a tactic as "terrorist" at least does, and that doesn't begin to describe what they real are.  They they call themselves "jihadhis" and proud of it and that's what they really are.            All these terrorist groups, wherever they are, whatever their tactics, have a coherent and focused ideological goal-...

GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!

 GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!                                                        by Norman Spinrad  A while back,  Dona Sadock--my clumsily so-called “significant other”--and I  attended a traditional wedding where the “bride and groom,” a man and a woman costumed more or less like the traditional little statues on the traditional wedding cake, became “husband” and “wife.” Dona and I had been “significant others” decades ago, parted for decades and married other people, which is to say officially became “wives and husbands,” were both divorced from our respective spouses, and have now once more been eachother’s “significant others,” for over a decade. Awkwardly written paragraph, now isn’t it? What do you call a man and a woman who are and have long been living together as “husband” ...
