Historical Trio 10? And all about Dhalgren
How would the Miracle on Ice 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team been different if it included Billie Jean King, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Rosalind Franklin?

And we’re into the home stretch: we’ve got six days left, and a scant $1,400 to go. Check it out! Tell your friends! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/667435382/three-time-travelers-walk-into
And in other news, today is publication day for On Samuel R. Delany’s Dhalgren, a collection that Publishers Weekly called “immersive and comprehensive.” The book is the #1 New Release in Amazon’s 20th Century Literary Criticism category, and we’re thrilled.

I forgot dessert
I just realized there was a reward level missing from the current Kickstarter campaign: dessert! So now it’s there, The Sweet Time Machine, limited to only the first ten backers at that level!
Also, a comment elsewhere reminded me that the time traveling trios I’ve been posting are simply ideas for stories that might appear in the book… if you choose to write them. But the stories haven’t yet been written, and I have no idea which writers are going to write about which characters (though there is one pledge level where you can tell Peter David which characters to use).
