Resonances And Future Posts

I try not to let local events interrupt the blog too often but sometimes they are worth recording and sometimes they resonate with events in works of fiction. This evening, I met Tyson Fury (at the scene in the image) on a demonstration against discrimination against Travelers with solidarity from local Asians! Worth standing in the rain for.

The scene where I most closely identify with Poul Anderson's  Dominic Flandry is the one where he uncharacteristically marches with Merseians to the Dennitzan Parliament. Different era, different issues. (And how far the Merseians have come since their first appearance as space opera villains. It is like reading about the Japanese first in a war comic, then in a serious novel.)

Tomorrow, this blog will return to Anderson's The Shield Of Time and, after that, I think, his time travel short stories. We have worlds to win.
