At the local coffee place, the barista asked about the Tiptree Award t-shirt I was wearing. The shirts, designed by Freddie Baer, are beautiful and always attract compliments.
I told her about Tiptree being the pen name of Alice Sheldon, who wrote science fiction in the 1960s through the early 1980’s.
She said her grandfather also wrote SF, in French, under the pen name Francis Carsac. He carried on correspondences with Issac Asimov and Fred Pohl. But his fiction hasn’t been translated to English. Maybe someone will be interested in doing that?
