Hey! Another review!

There's a review of Voices of Vision in the latest issue (no. 260) of The Science Fiction Chronicle (actually, it's just Chronicle, but when you say that, nobody knows what the hell you're talking about). In the "Critical Mass" section, Don D'Ammassa gives it a brief but positive writeup:

Another collection of interviews with prominent writers. There are seventeen interviews here, ranging from a section with editors like Gardner Dozois and Gordon Van Gelder to fantasy writers like Charles de Lint and Robin Hobb, to comic book writers like Neil Gaiman. The entries for Harlan Ellison, Gene Wolfe and Samuel R. Delany were the most interesting for me, but personal tastes will vary. The interviewer does a very fine job of enticing interesting responses from her subjects. Terrible cover on the book though.

Ooh, another fence-straddler on the cover issue! I wish these folks would make up their minds and say what they're really thinking already.

Also, as an added bonus, this issue also contains an ad for VoV. It does look like they've learned their lesson from the more-is-less fiasco with the Fantasy & Science Fiction ad from a few months back, because this one features large cover scans of VoV and Queen of Atlantis, and no more. The ad copy plugs seven different books (including mine) but the layout and design is crisp and eye-catching, very easy to read. It really helps that it's printed on an 8.5x11 inch glossy page, though, as opposed to the 4x5 (or whatever) newsprint page from F&SF. It will be enlightening to see how effective Nebraska's and my joint promotional efforts have been once I get my first royalty statement in a couple of months...
