WHAT'S NEW
"On Not Flying Solo in Hyperspace", Richard's essay defending the Star Wars movies against the charge that "Star Wars Has Dumbed Down the Perception of Science Fiction in the Popular Imagination", can be found in BenBella Books' Star Wars On Trial, refereed by David Brin and Matthew Woodring Stover.
Also from BenBella, "Why Killing Harry is the Worst Outcome for Voldemort," can be found in Mapping the World of Harry Potter," edited by Mercedes Lackey; and "Why Are the Elders Such Jerks?", a thought-provoking essay on the puzzlingly unpleasant and ineffectual depiction of Good in modern stories of Good versus Evil, is in Totally Charmed: Demons, Whitelighters and the Power of Three , edited by Jennifer Crusie.
Celestial Matters is still inspiring reviews and discussions worldwide. Read excerpts, and link to some of them, on our newest page, Celestial Matters Under Discussion.
