A middling issue of IF #ScienceFiction and a recap of three big news stories reaching conclusions. galacticjourney.org/august-2-197...
The first publication of SWEET FOREST MAID by Gene Wolfe (1971) Gideon gave it three stars and I’m not saying that’s inaccurate. But I’m going to make a case for it anyway bcz someone has to. Maybe it’s three stars for a Wolfe story. Anyway, here is the introduction in tMoF&SF

Gideon wraps up this month in #ScienceFiction and #ScienceFact, both of which are … bittersweet. This month’s Analog is John Campbell’s last, and it’s an eerie, if mixed, read. Meanwhile, Apollo 15 is about to make history on the moon, so where’s the buzz? galacticjourney.org/july-31-1971...

Here’s a review from Joe about a joyless and ultimately forgettable #ScienceFiction film, THX-1138. It seems the 1967, 15-minute version, made when writer/director George Lucas was a student, was much better. galacticjourney.org/july-24-1971...
We’re looking forward to the next #Apollo mission bound for the Moon, but it’s a bittersweet thing. Like this month's #Fantasy and #ScienceFiction which unfortunately fails to live up to its full potential. galacticjourney.org/july-22-1971...

For our first Galactoscope of #ScienceFiction this month, we've got four books of varied quality - which is just the stuff that makes for a good column! galacticjourney.org/july-16-1971...
