PAT MURPHY has won numerous awards including the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award,
and the Seiun Award for best foreign SF novel translated into Japanese. Her work ranges from
scientifically accurate science fiction to psychological fantasy to magic realism. Her latest novel is
ADVENTURES IN TIME AND SPACE WITH MAX MERRIWELL, which Publisher’s Weekly called the "cerebral
equivalent of a roller-coaster ride." Pat will be reading from THE CITY NOT LONG AFTERr, a novel set in
a post-apocalyptic San Francisco that has been taken over by artists.
TERRY BISSON is the author of a dozen or so SF books, most recently GREETINGS and NUMBERS DON’T LIE
from San Francisco’s Tachyon Publications. He is perhaps best known for his short stories: “Bears Discover Fire”
which won the Nebula, Hugo and Locus awards in 1990, and “macs” which won a Nebula and France’s
Gran Prix de l’Imaginaire in 2000. “They’re Made out of Meat” has been made into a prize-winning short film.
Bisson’s non-SF includes biographies and film scripts about Mumia Abu Jamal, Nat Turner and abolitionist John Brown.

A Brief Review
I went tonight and it was once more most excellent. Terry Bisson read a story in his series of tales named after protestant hymns. Pat Murphy read a short-short about the aftermath of Peter Pan and an excerpt from the recently reprinted The City, Not Long After. The brief panel discussion following the readings was also cool.They'll do it again next month (Beagle & Kerr). I've been to two of these now (there have been, thus far, only three), and it's shaping up to be a good series.
