God, gammel vin på friske flasker
Hvis man lige ser bort fra alt, har vi det faktisk meget godt – som danske fantastik-læsere. Der er flere forlag, der har kastet sig over genudgivelser af gamle titler, der kan være svære at finde på dansk – f.eks. A Mock Book, der har en del science fiction blandt deres udgivelser og som faktisk er fortsat ud af samme bane og har fået Stig W. Jørgensen til oversætte de bind i serien, som vi ikke tidligere har haft adgang til på dansk (“Kapitelhuset: Dune” står til at udkomme til oktober).
Men et par andre udgivelser, som det er værd at kigge på eller se frem til, strøget forbi min opmærksomhed på det sidste og fortjener at blive bragt videre.
Lindhardt og Ringhof har fået Jakob Levinsen til at nyoversætte “Dracula”, som udkommer i juni. Jeg genlæste for nylig starten i Benny Andersens oversættelse, og den er fin, men måske også lidt underspillet. Det bliver interessant at se resultatet.
Forlaget Feberdrøm har på det sidste oversat flere Ursula K. Le Guin-bøger, men til juni er der en lidt overraskende udgivelse på taget: en nyoversættelse af Dan Simmons’ Hyperion. Der er ingen omtale på deres hjemmeside endnu (for den slags gør vi åbenbart ikke mere i 2026), så her 8ydrk) et link til releasefesten på Facebook.
Sidst men ikke mindst: forlaget Koloni har hovedsageligt udgivet afrikansk litteratur. Men deres navn dukkede for nylig op på en frisk udgave af Fahrenheit 451.

In Bradbury's "The Fire Balloons," after clearing a space in the Martian wilderness for a church "that was not a church," Father Peregrine plays the organ:
"The music went up like a flight of pretty birds. He touched the keys like a man moving his hands among the weeds of a wild garden, startling up great soarings of beauty into the hills.
The music calmed the air. It smelled the fresh smell of morning. The music drifted into the mountains and shook down mineral powders in a dusty rain.
The Fathers waited.
[...]
He built an architecture of Bach, stone by exquisite stone, raising a music cathedral so vast that its furthest chancels were in Nineveh, its furthest dome at St. Peter's left hand. The music stayed and did not crash in ruin when it was over, but partook of a series of white clouds and was carried away among other lands." -
"And from the opened case spilled his black uniform, like a black nebula, stars glittering here or there, distantly, in the material. I kneaded the dark stuff in my warm hands; I smelled the planet Mars, an iron smell, and the planet Venus, a green ivy smell, and the planet Mercury, a scent of sulphur and fire; and I could smell the milky moon and the hardness of stars. I pushed the uniform into a centrifuge machine I'd built in my ninth-grade shop that year, set it whirling. Soon a fine powder precipitated into a retort. This I slid under a microscope. And while my parents slept unaware, and while our house was asleep [...], I stared down upon brilliant motes of meteor dust, comet tail, and loam from Jupiter glistening like worlds themselves which drew me down the tube a billion miles into space, at terrific accelerations.
At dawn, exhausted with my journey and fearful of discovery, I returned the boxed uniform to their sleeping room."
-- Ray Bradbury, "The Rocket Man"

«No podemos decir el momento preciso en que se forma la amistad. Como al llenar un recipiente gota a gota, al final hay una gota que lo hace recorrer; así que en una serie de bondades hay al final una que hace que el corazón se desborde.» -
Off to my book group, first time I've managed since January. Too sore & ill in Feb, hospital in March, so looking forward to seeing everyone (been running the group over 22 years).
And we're talking Ray Bradbury tonight, bonus.

Current reading: revisiting The Martian Chronicles by Bradbury. First read was back in my early teens, when I devoured Bradbury, Poe etc.
My SF Book Group choice for April. With the health crisis I've missed the last two, hoping to make this one & see everyone again.

#RayBradbury Reveals the True Meaning of #Fahrenheit451: It’s Not About #Censorship, But People “Being Turned Into Morons by #TV”
in Books | August 10th, 2017 9 Comments
' 'Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship,' wrote the Los Angeles Weekly’s Amy E. Boyle Johnson in 2007. 'Nor was it a response to Senator #Joseph McCarthy, whose investigations had already instilled fear and stifled the creativity of thousands.' Rather, he meant his 1953 novel as 'a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature.' "

Just remembered that #RayBradbury's #Fahrenheit451 predicted (something like) Bluetooth earbuds about 50 years before they became a thing.
I remember reading that part of the book in the early 90s and being rather puzzled about it. 😄

Nos hacía mirarnos a nosotros mismos y pensar: “Si hemos logrado esto, ¿qué más seremos capaces de hacer?” Sin embargo, conforme pasaron los años desde la última misión tripulada en 1972, la pregunta se ha vuelto un poco más melancólica: “Si habíamos logrado aquello, ¿por qué no fuimos capaces de hacer más?”

"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."
~ Ray Bradbury

"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains. It came by the pound and the ton, it hacked at the jungle and cut the trees like scissors and shaved the grass and tunneled the soil and molted the bushes. It shrank men's hands into the hands of wrinkled apes; it rained a solid glassy rain, and it never stopped."
-- #FirstSentences of Ray Bradbury's "The Long Rain"
What a great opening!

I just remembered the Ray Bradbury short story "The Foghorn" out of the blue and brb, gonna go curl up in a corner and cry. It's such a good story, but I still get a physical ache in my solar plexus when I think about it.

The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, so many more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics" #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

"I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. ... I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories - science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."
~ Ray Bradbury

Some stories don’t need to be retold. They need to be re-aimed. When adaptation swaps urgency for ego, laughter for anger, and warning for spectacle, the message dissolves. From Good Night, and Good Luck to A Sound of Thunder, this is what happens when we mistake repetition for relevance.
