<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><b>Yale Summer Sessions Writing
Program Wednesday series of intimate readings at Koffee On Audubon<br>
</b> continues on<br>
<b> July 26 7 PM <br>
</b>with two of the most remarkable and unclassifiable writers now
working in the genres referred to as Fantasy and Science
Fiction:<br><br>
<b>PAUL DIFILIPPO </b>is the author of hundreds of short stories and
could be a type of the old fashioned unstoppable pulp writer if his work
wasn't so unique and aslant. His big novel <i>Ciphers</i> seems to
go on the shelf with <i>V </i>and <i>Underworld</i> but actually needs a
shelf of its own. Go to
<a href="http://www.pauldifilippo.com/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.pauldifilippo.com/</a> where you get (among other things) an
example of the collage envelopes Paul's friends are lucky to recieve in
the mail, usually full of selected ephemera that can tell your fortune if
properly understood.<br><br>
<b>PAUL PARK</b> has been working in the SF genre for many years under
the handicap of being concerned, as a writer, with matters that
most stories set in the future or on other planets are not: the
ambiguities of experience, the fragility of human ambitions and
understanding. But it makes his books appealing to readers who care
little for the standard stuff of SF. He has recently embarked on
what might be mistaken for a multiple-volume fantasy novel -- <i>A
Princess of Roumania </i>is the first volume -- but is in fact a
complete alternative Europe with its own dynasties, gods, hells and
nations.<br><br>
Only New Haven Appearance by these Secret Masters of modern
literature. </blockquote><br>
