Harmacy

Brian Aldiss in the TLS:

I have come across no reviews of Hodson's book [AD 2516 — After Global Warming]. A couple of months ago, Duckworth published my novel HARM, which airs the fact that Britain and America regularly “harsh-question”, ie, torture their prisoners. A not unimportant matter, surely? It received only one review — in The Times — apart from a long notice in, er, a SF magazine. The most hackneyed crime novel receives attention. But SF is not “beach reading” — not unless you know of a very stony beach.

Yes...but HARM was reviewed in the L.A. Times...in my column Astral Weeks!

Unfortunately, the article is no longer available on the site...but you can find it here.
