Dear all,
Not a question, I know, but the Q.&A. still seems the best place to announce that Savoy's 2004 book, 'A Serious Life' by D.M. Mitchell, has won the International Horror Guild Award in the non-fiction category. The results were announced last Thursday (3rd Nov.) at the World Fantasy Convention in Madison, WI. (See www.ihgonline.org for the full list). Jeff VanderMeer accepted the award on Savoy's behalf.
For those of you unaware of the book, 'A Serious Life' is "An evaluation of the books, records and comics produced by Savoy -- publishers of the eclectic, the maverick and the marginalised -- over the last thirty years". ( www.savoy.abel.co.uk )
Although M.M. is mentioned throughout, there's also a whole section of the book devoted to him which begins: "To even a casual reader it must be obvious by now that Michael Moorcock is the linchpin of the Savoy gestalt. His fingerprints are to be found on literally everything Britton and Butterworth [i.e. Savoy] do. One of the greats of Twentieth Century imaginative literature, Moorcock's archetype-generating, fabulist presence permeates the whole of this volume."
It's heavily illustrated throughout, including several previously unpublished photographs of M.M.
Best,
John.
