About Solar Flares

This is a spot for thinking aloud about 1970s science fiction (and a certain amount of fantasy) as I work through various projects related to the period – a number of articles, certainly a conference papers, and in time a book, or two. I plan to cover novels, short fiction, film, television, radio, comics and music, with a certain degree of history and theory.

These are not reviews – here be spoilers, and consideration of endings. I’m also not afraid to use theory.

If you wish to quote anything then please check first – as it’s a work in progress I very well may change my mind about stuff.
