		<title>The Celluloid Lady</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Margaret Thatcher saw the film The Iron Lady she wept for the painful memories of her time in office, and not for her dead husband, and her own confused old age, which are what the film deals with to the nth degree. Thatcher&#8217;s being was that of an ideological politician and we saw her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good and Bad Hoaxes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love a good hoax.  A hoax is a scam and a con job, but not the sort when a low-life flogs off expensive energy deals to pensioners.  Although some hoaxes have made money, that should not be what a hoax is designed for. Its object should be to make the pretentious and pompous look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zionism and Science Fiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A niche topic, perhaps, but one which takes in some rather good books.  Be warned – this post contains quite a few spoilers. I bought Robert Silverberg’s Roma Eterna because I enjoy alternative histories focused on Rome.  But Judaism is an important, though submerged, strand in the novel, which is really a collection of loosely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday Bob</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to post a link to Desolation Row but Dylan&#8217;s YouTube presence is very minimal.  But here is something to watch/listen to and here are the lyrics to Desolation Row &#8211; which work (though don&#8217;t ask me what they mean) even without the music. They&#8217;re selling postcards of the hanging They&#8217;re painting the passports [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best sf novel since Neuromancer/Best sf film never made</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea what the answer is to the first question &#8211; I was hoping you might have some thoughts.  Sometimes I help teach a course on sf and we always hesitate about what text(s) to include after Neuromancer.   Mary Doria Russell&#8217;s The Sparrow is certainly a contender, as are several of Dan Simmons&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIP Diana Wynne Jones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diana Wynne Jones (16 August 1934 – 26 March 2011) was a writer of fantasy, mostly aimed at older children.  I have vivid memories of my first encounter with her work, back in the 1970s, when The Ogre Downstairs was read on Jackanory.  The central idea, a chemistry set with conventional chemicals on top, and [...]]]></description>
