September 2004

The September meeting of the SF Book Group took place on Tuesday 28^th of September, from 6-7pm. September marked our first full year and also our first graphic novel selection. Fittingly we selected one of the finest writers of the comic world: Neil Gaiman’s multi-award-winning Sandman. We have decided to focus on The Doll’s House volume for this meeting, which is arguably where the astonishing Sandman series really began to shine, showing some of the remarkable attributes that would make it such a stand-out series, highly regarded by readers, other writers, critics and academics alike.

Also in October we will be hosting the home-town author event for Iain M Banks and his first SF novel in four years, the rather excellent The Algebraist. Should be taking place in the Traverse Theatre on Tuesday October 12th - more details as I get them sorted - tickets soon from the store or the Traverse.
