School update

This is mostly for me, but hey, maybe someone else out there cares as well ;)

I think I know what I want to do my paper on in my communication class. I think I will look at the different portrayals of gender and minorities in the a sample of the pulps, radio, serial (and comics, if I can get more than the one story I have) for The Shadow, with consideration of the different mediums and audiences. I want to focus on the relationship with/role of Margot "You Stupid Woman" Lane, and possibly focus on the Chinese as a minority group, if I can find enough/any relevant radio broadcasts. Mostly because they are so dominant in the serial, and because Showan Khan is one of the most prominent Pulp villains, but also because then I can talk about Orientalism :)

Man, I should re-buy my account, so I can have my Shadow icon back :/ I think it will be seeing a lot more use in the near future!

I believe a friend of mine has a bunch of the old Shadow radio broadcasts, I could probably ask him where he got them if you need them. Sounds like an interesting paper.

I remember him ^_^

And I already have them (and the pulps!), but thanks :D

http://zootradio.com has a couple of hundred episodes of the radio serial; you have to sign up, but they haven't spammed me.

Hi! This is Tad Williams. Please excuse the interruption to your regularly scheduled bloggery. People here have mentioned my work, or love fantasy and science fiction, so I just wanted to pop in and say that anyone interested in reading a chapter from my new book, SHADOWRISE, should drop an email to:

deborah.shazam@batnet.com

and we'll send one to you. We won't do anything rotten with your email address, either, we promise. This is real!

Thanks – Tad
