[edit] November 2003
Not on the main article because I can't remember the details sufficiently: I think he produced a small magazine/fanzine of SF literary criticism in the 1960s; notable particularly for printing a transcript of a discussion about science fiction between Aldiss, James Blish, and C.S. Lewis, all of whom were living around Oxford at that time, but I can't remember the title of the magazine.
And I think he and Harry Harrison edited a John W. Campbell memorial Anthology too, but I could be wrong on that. More later.... Malcolm Farmer

[edit] March 2004
There's a lot of detail on individual novels that would probably work better as separate articles. I suppose this could apply to a lot of Wikipedia articles...one big article with lots of subsections, or lots of smaller articles? Lee M 01:45, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Billion Year Spree
Or, I suppose, Trillion Year Spree. Anyone got a copy? I'd like to put Aldiss's exact words about cosy catastrophes into the cosy catastrophe article. –Hajor 17:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hothouse
I've read Hothouse in Polish edition and I'm reading it again now. Each time, i find the book a fascinating novel, not so 'science' fiction, but rather a form of fantasy literature written by the great author with an amazing imagination. Is there anybody willing to make a separate article on this book? I have found none articles on it. Greetings, Critto, December 23, 2005

[edit] Fame
Re OUTSIDE. If there is one short story that Brian W. Aldiss will be remembered for in a hundred years it is certainly this one. Its issues (what is identity, what happens when credibility is lost etc) have also been treated in other SF stories, notably in Philip K. Dick's Impostor, but what makes Ouside absolutely unique is its ending. Nobody who reads these closing lines will ever forget them: "The inhumanity inside will always give you away," he said evenly. "However human you are outside." --BZ(Bruno Zollinger) 13:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
