In Reflections on the Fantastic: Selected Essays from the Fourth
International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts, editor
Michael R. Collings has selected the best of the conference
proceedings reflecting the intent of the conference to discover
aspects of the fantastic in every branch of the arts. The twelve
essays commence with theoretical discussions of the fantastic as it
relates to other genres and elements of life. The second section
examines individual authors including Peter Beagle, French
fantasists Alain Robbe-Grillet and Felix Labisse, and Spanish
authors Amado Nervo and Jose Maria Merino. The third section
discusses issues in contemporary science fiction, opening with a
look at artificial language in the work of Samuel R. Delaney. It
continues with examinations of the work of Brian W. Aldiss, and a
look at the narrative structure in works by Ursula K. Le Guin and
Frederik Pohl. The section concludes with a further discussion of
artificial language by Gregory Shreve.
