Return to Harrison Country
Jun. 3rd, 2007 05:57 pmEarlier this year at Corflu Quire in Austin, Texas, one of the publications premiered was Steve Stiles’ TAFF report, Harrison Country, chronicling his TAFF trip of 1968, where amongst other things and mysteriously enough he apparently ended up on the Goon Show as played by Neddie Seagoon. This is the first full-length North American TAFF report completed since Len and June Moffatt published The Moffatt House Abroad in 1974. Yes, friends, that’s right, Harrison Country is the first completed North American TAFF report in over thirty years!!!!!
It’s a thing of beauty, too, with cover and interior artwork by Steve, including his legendary two-page Krazy Kat pastiche, "TEFF Tearaw Tales," plus Goon Show art by the resplendent Dave Hicks. The report opens a window on British fandom of almost forty years ago, only to splash cold sea water in their faces, much to their surprise. So climb aboard the charred remains of the Cutty Sark and sail to Harrison Country. You’ll laugh, you’ll croggle, and, above all, you’ll learn to avoid the VERGUZZ at all costs.
Harrison Country is available in North American for $7.00 (postage included) payable to Suzanne Tompkins, PO Box 25075, Seattle WA 98165, USA. E-mail: SuzleT at aol dot com. It is available in Britain and Europe for 3 pounds (plus 55p P&P) payable to Bridget Bradshaw, 103 Rustat Road, Cambridge, CB1 3QG, UK. Email taffbug at googlemail dot com. All proceeds go to TAFF, the TransAtlantic Fan Fund.
And in the meantime, please vote for Steve for the Best Fan Artist Hugo. Harrison Country is reason enough — as if you needed another reason!
