The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction: 70th Anniversary Issue, dated September-October and edited by C.C. Finlay, is a bumper volume of 256 pages containing four novelets, eight short stories, two poems and a variety of cartoons, book reviews and essays. As an “All-Star Issue” it showcases some of our most admired contemporary writers of “fantastika”: Kelly Link, Ken Liu, Michael Swanwick, Maureen McHugh, Elizabeth Bear, Esther Friesner, Paolo Bacigalupi. In addition, science fiction grandmaster Robert Silverberg describes how “F&SF” got its start and Paul Di Filippo offers a scholarly jeu d’esprit about a long-lost collaboration between Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. One particular coup: Michael Moorcock’s intense “Kabul” tracks a ragtag band of soldiers and survivalists in a devastated near-future Afghanistan. Think “The Road Warrior” but even bleaker.
