Скачать или смотреть IguanaCon (1978) Worldcon - Terry Carr, Harlan Ellison,Richard Lupoff,Bob Silverberg,Ted White pt1

IguanCon II, the 36th Worldcon, was held in Phoenix, Arizona in 1978. Guest of Honor Harlan Ellison, along with Robert Silverberg, Terry Carr, Dick Lupoff and Ted White participated in a panel on "Fans Into Pros". This audio recording (enhanced with more than 50 images) is Part 1 of that panel.

It's clear that the participants are old friends, with the combination of sharp wit and long familiarity. There are multilingual puns, sincere stories of friends that helped them become professionals, tales of writerly poverty, editorial benevolence and malevolence, and a ready acknowledgement (in detail!) of how fandom helped these writers become professionals in the field. Well worth listening to for both the content and the occasional conversational gymnastics.
