Sunday, February 25, 2007 Interview with Paul Di Filippo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Paul Di Filippo is a science fiction writer born October 29, 1954 in Providence, Rhode Island. He is known for being a prolific, wide-ranging writer of everything from steampunk to cyberpunk, and for his gonzo writing style. He has been published in Postscripts. He is also a regular reviewer for almost all the major print magazines in the field, including Asimov's Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Science Fiction Eye, The New York Review of Science Fiction, Interzone, and Nova Express, as well as online at Science Fiction Weekly. He is a member of the Turkey City Writer's Workshop. Dear Paul, thank you for agreeing to do this interview for us. Could you please tell us a bit about yourself and how you started writing? I've been an inveterate reader since age 5, starting with all the usual talismanic works: Dr. Seuss, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, and then, upon discovering hardcore SF at age 10, rapidly exploring that genre. Somewhere along the way, I got the notion that creating such works would be a fun and noble enterprise, and that I could do the same. I began my writing career by producing satirical essays for my highs school newspaper. (At this time, I was living in Lincoln, Rhode Island.) In college, I wrote a few similar pieces for THE ANCHOR, the paper of Rhode Island College. During the same period, I sold my first short story to UNEARTH MAGAZINE, and an opinion essay to THE NEW YORK TIMES. These affirmations from editors convinced me that I was not entirely deluded about my own talents, although it would take another ten years or so before the rest of the world began grudgingly to concede the same. If they even do so today at all!

8. FRACTAL PAISLEYS, By Paul Di Filippo Paul Di Filippo is known throughout the world of science fiction as one of the funniest, most original — most offbeat — writers published today. http://www.hammerbooks.com/bookdifilippo2.html

Paul Di Filippo Fractal Paisleys "Funny, offbeat and ever-so-funky tales of losers and working-class people who come into contact with the decidedly weird. . . Although he has yet to achieve the popularity of a Terry Pratchett or a Douglas Adams, perhaps because he works almost entirely in the short story form, Di Filippo is one of the most talented humorists in contemporary fantasy and SF." Publishers Weekly Ten funky science fiction stories by the widely acclaimed author of The Steampunk Trilogy and Ribofunk . Irreverent, funny and sexy — samples of what Di Filippo terms "trailer park science fiction" — Fractal Paisleys explains the real reason for the disappearance of the dinosaurs, how John Lennon found inspiration, how the L'il Bear Bar in Providence, Rhode Island, ended up with a talking moose head on its wall, why Republicans ruled the U.S. for an unbroken twelve years, and many more secrets of life. The stories are united by Di Filippo's fascination with the infinite variety of alternate worlds: "what-if" scenarios that place an ordinary Joe or Jane in command of the forces that power the universe. Invariably, the results are … unexpected, to say the least. Combining Philip K. Dick's paranoia and Douglas Adams's whimsy, Di Filippo both parodies conventions of the SF genre and takes readers on an exhilarating ride to a fantasy realm where literally anything is possible. Fractal Paisleys includes two never-before-published tales: the other stories were published in such science fiction standbys as

CONTENTS Art Gallery Articles Columns ... Forum Interview: Paul Di Filippo 4 November 2002 Paul Di Filippo As a child, were you a voracious reader? Paul Di Filippo: Indeed, reading was my primary pleasure and joy, which is not to say that I was a pasty-faced, housebound bookworm. I loved being outdoors, often spending hours roaming across the semi-rural, semi-suburban landscapes of Rhode Island, alone and with various schoolchums, playing "war," building "forts," all that good stuff. But this activity often paled when I was presented with the opportunity to visit one of the three or four libraries, which my mother insured we patronized on a regular basis. And I had a favorite green vinyl chair with aluminum armrests that I can still feel and smell, from which I launched many a fictional voyage. CL: What did you read then? PDF: I read tons of comics first of all, starting in Grade 2. Dr. Seuss of course. Then I graduated to series books like the Hardy Boys and Tom Swift. Believe it or not, I also loved those "girly" books that concerned kids who owned horses and had horse riding clubs. Then in Grade 5 or thereabouts I discovered the pure quill, genre SF, with an early standout book being Raymond Jones's The Year When Stardust Fell.

15. RIBOFUNK: The Manifesto RIBOFUNK The Manifesto. by paul di filippo. Gregor Mendel died for Your Sins! Free James Brown! Listen to Your Mitochondria! Why Ribo? http://www.streettech.com/bcp/BCPtext/Manifestos/Ribofunk.html

Down to Navigation Controls RIBOFUNK: The Manifesto by Paul Di Filippo Gregor Mendel Died for Your Sins! Free James Brown! Listen to Your Mitochondria! Why Ribo? Cybernetics was a dead science when cyberpunk SF was born, a cul-de-sac without living practitioners. Furthermore, the "cyber" prefix has been irreparably debased by overuse, in vehicles ranging from comic books to bad movies. The tag now stands for nothing in the public mind but computer hacking and fanciful cyborgs such as Robocop. And Weiner's actual texts do not provide enough fruitful metaphors for constructing a systematic worldview. Why Funk? Punk was a dead music when cyberpunk SF was born, a cul-de-sac albeit with living practitioners who just hadn't gotten the message yet. The music's nihilistic, chiliastic worldview had already culminated in its only possible end: self-extinction. What is Ribofunk then? Ribofunk is speculative fiction which acknowledges, is informed by and illustrates the tenet that the next revolutionthe only one that really matterswill be in the field of biology. To paraphrase Pope, ribofunk holds that: "The proper study of mankind is life." Forget physics and chemistry; they are only tools to probe living matter. Computers? Merely simulators and modelers for life. The cell is King! Consider the following: Portents AIDS is causing an intense and unprecedented investigation of cellular mechanics which is bound to have myriad by-products.

April 25 - May 2, 1 9 9 6 Reviews Literary Calendar Authors in town Events by Location ... Hot Links System Failure All invention and no joy makes for dull sci-fi by Jordan Ellenberg RIBOFUNK, by Paul Di Filippo. Four Walls Eight Windows, 295 pages, $20. Paul Di Filippo knows as well as anyone that science fiction doesn't have to be serious to be good. His first book, The Steampunk Trilogy , was a likably daffy romp through a skewed Victorian era, in which a mutant newt stands in for the Queen herself, and lovers Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson carom through time to double-date with Allen Ginsberg and Sylvia Plath. If the prose was a bit breathless, and the characters distinguishable only by their phonetically rendered accents, it didn't matter; the point was mad invention. In his new collection, Ribofunk , Di Filippo tries for a little more and achieves much less. This book is frivolous and joyless at once. The stories here take place on a future Earth dominated by biotechnology ("ribofunk," as in "ribosome"). Characters sport genetic add-ons ranging from lizard ruffs to reflective skin; animal-human splices, grown in vats, make up a new serf class; semi-intelligent rivers carry cargo downstream and up. For all this, the landscape will be relatively familiar to sci-fi readers. We're in the conventionally "gritty" version of the 21st century, with its colorful street gangs, its novel drugs and virtual sex, its osmosing nation-states, and its predictably syncretic argot (corporations are "gembaitches" and "essays," pretty girls "xinggan"; computers are shipped from "the Bangalore macqui of Segasoft-TogaiMagic").

All RSS Feeds Science Fiction and Fantasy Robot love affairs and other strange tales. By Paul Di Filippo Sunday, May 22, 2005; Page BW13 Sequels long delayed constitute an intriguing subset of sf books. The impulses that spur an author to pick an old singleton or series off the shelf and extend it range the gamut from mercenary to purely artistic. And the results are not always correlated to motive. In the historical record, we find such variable instances as Jack Williamson's return to his 1930s-era Legion of Space saga after nearly fifty years with The Queen of the Legion (1982), or Larry Niven's relatively speedy delivery of the third book in his Ringworld series some twenty years after the appearance of the second. Now Tanith Lee joins this exclusive club with her decision to return for the first time to the fascinating world she portrayed in The Silver Metal Lover (1981). That novel chronicled the torrid love affair between a rich young teenager named Jane and a humanoid robot named Silver, against the backdrop of a socially stratified, disaster-wracked Earth. At the book's close, Silver had been destroyed by his evil creators and Jane was on her way to maturity.

18. Fantasy And Science Fiction - Curiosities antilynching riff Coblentz delivers. In the era of freedom-rider controversies, Coblentz s passions proved stronger than his art. —paul di filippo http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/2002/cur0204.htm

April 2002 Current Issue Departments Bibliography Curiosities Under the Triple Suns by Stanton Coblentz (1955) "The climb seemed never-ending. They clung to swaying cables over half-mile gulfs; crawled through funnels like the ventilators of a steamer; circled around nets patterned like acre-large cobwebs; scaled the precipitous slopes of branching ceiling supports; and elbowed their way past sleeping monsters whose phosphoresent green lidless eyes seemed somehow malevolently aware. . . . his hands felt like bags of glue from contact with the sticky web-substance . . ." Thus Dave Harrowell experiences the gargantuan tent city of the spidery Ugwugs in Under the Triple Suns, a forgotten tale praised by Damon Knight as an example of weird world-building. Stanton Coblentz (1896-1982) once wore the mantle of sf's premier satirist. But he unfortunately exhibited a heavy prose style that weighed down his hijinx. This defect was offset by a fertile imagination for alien environments and a vivid presentation. The last three survivors of humanityDave and Eunice Harrowell and Earle Henesseyflee to the stars. On the titular world, they encounter two races locked in Eloi-Morlock symbiosis: brutish Ugwug masters and wispy Lil-Bro slaves, both occupying the odd tentlike city of Harrowell's adventures. Naturally the humans enlist on the side of the slaves, eventually winning a tenuous freedom for the avian race.
