[Sfts-faculty] Klein Librarian update May 2023

[Phoenix Alexander]

Dear all,

Happy May! I hope the 4th was with you, etc.

A couple of exciting acquisitions this month, fresh from the NYC Antiquarian Book Fair:

  *
Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau, El Anacronópete [The Time Ship]. 1887. This is a first edition of the first Western (Spanish-language) novel to feature a time machine, published eight years before H. G. Wells' vision of the technology!

  *   Elizbeth Jane Howard, Three Miles Up and Other Strange Stories. Tartarus Press, 1951. A rare book of weird fiction by a British novelist - accompanied by a letter describing possible adaptation for radio.

This weekend sees the Nebula Awards Conference, which I'll be presenting at; there are still some scholarships available for both online and in-person attendance<https://nebulas.sfwa.org/nebula-scholarships-and-sponsorships/>, so do check them out if you're interested!

Warmth and light,

Phoenix

Recommended book of the month: Kushiel's Dart, Jacqueline Carey (2001)
