A novella published in one of those impossible numbered hardcovers with a tiny print run. But luckily, the text is also available right here, and I recommend it.
RCW is one of my favorite science fiction authors, full stop. (Well, for his work starting around 2003 – things before that are a bit iffy). This is the story of two seventeen-year-old boys and the draft of Christmas 2172. It turns out I have a narrative kink for science fiction that plausibly turns the future into a social mirror of our...more

Review edited to add that my numbered, signed hardback copy arrived from England yesterday.
Julian: A Christmas Story is a novella that apparently will be incorporated into Wilson's forthcoming Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America (scheduled for release June 9).
I've ordered a copy from PS Publications (first edition, 500 copy print run, introduction by Robert J. Sawyer). However, I read it on line because I needed a Robert Charles Wilson fix. The online copy is at http://www.kith.org/...more

Ci sono ottimi spunti in questo libro, che, lavorandoci molto sopra, sarebbe potuto diventare un classico del postcatastrofismo.Julian, e il suo cantore Adam, sono personaggi interessanti, e l'eresia di Julian, che è costituita dalla fede nella scienza, permette spunti interessanti.Il problema è che il libro è una enorme delusione, abbozzato, mal scritto, confuso e decisamente mal tradotto. Peccato.
I don't own this signed hard cover edition, but I couldn't find any other listings. This was one of the stories in the year's best sci fi short stories. I'm reading one short story in between each novel I read. This one was good. I may be tempted to pick up a novel by this writer if there is one that takes place in this same world. It would be interesting I think.
