Anticipation schedule
So, accidents permitting, I will be at Anticipation, the Worldcon to be held in Montreal next week. At least as it stands, my program looks like this:
When: Thu 14:00
Location: P-512BF
Title: The History of Tor
Session ID: 880
All Participants: Tom Doherty, Beth Meacham, David Hartwell, Graham
Sleight, Patrick Nielsen Hayden
Moderator: Graham Sleight
Description: Tor is the longest established of the science fiction
and fantasy imprints (and a lot more we don't necessarily see). How
did it get there?
Duration: 1:00 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Human Culture
AV/Internet request: None
When: Thu 15:30
Location: P-512BF
Title: Re-reading
Session ID: 893
All Participants: Graham Sleight, Jo Walton, Kate Nepveu, Larry Niven
Moderator: Kate Nepveu
Description: There is a school of thought that re-reading is a
juvenile habit, something children demand as a way to gain comfort.
Yet most fans re-read. All critics do. What is it we gain from
re-reading, do some texts bear more re-reading than others? And does
this notion of comfort reading have any validity?

Description: There are Hugos for books, films, art, audio books,
graphic novels - but professional magazines have no place. And the
Semiprozine category is under consideration for elimination. Should
there be a magazine Hugo? Should the category be open to pros?
