As many of you will know, John Brunner, one of the finest SF writers the UK has produced, died during the 1995 Worldcon in Glasgow. I was only just getting back into fandom at the time, and didn't know anyone much, so I wasn't really aware of Brunner's family. Imagine my surprise, therefore, to get an email last week from his widow. Mrs. Brunner, it turns out, is still living in the same house she shared with John, which is in a part of Darkest Somerset that is even more remote, if rather prettier, than where I live. For a Chinese lady who has lost her English husband, this must be rather hard.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Stand on Zanzibar was the best of his works that I read.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
