Topic: Colin Greenland

	Books \| Back to earth with a bump
		Greenland is lauded as one of Britain's most consistent creators of fantasy fiction, but with his first attempt at a "serious" novel he comes down to earth with a bump.
		Greenland, who has been described by his fellow fantasy author Neil Gaiman as "looking like Gandalf's rock-and-rolling younger brother who is also secretly a pirate", has comprehensively explored piracy in the ongoing adventures of his feisty space buccaneer, Tabitha Jute.
		Clearly Greenland's fantasy inclinations were going to leak out somewhere: but his portentous conclusion that Helen is one of "Them" is geekishly unhelpful, unless it's Van Morrison's band he's referring to.

	FRONTLINE/WORLD . Election 2004 - Greenland \| PBS
		Eighty-five percent of Greenland is uninhabited inland ice, otherwise known as the ice cap; the rest is a jagged, rocky fringe where some 57,000 people live, in about 60 scattered settlements.
		Greenland is dependent on an annual subsidy of roughly $500 million from Denmark.
		When I emailed a friend who lives in East Greenland to tell him I was going to Nuuk this year, he warned me: "Nuuk is horrible." One young woman, who grew up in a small town, told me she had traveled to many places, but she was never homesick until she moved to Nuuk.

	Colin Greenland: The Plenty Principle - an infinity plus review
		Perhaps more memorably, at a convention a few years ago Colin Greenland described his approach to writing sf as rather like standing at the salad bar in a Pizza Hut: "I'll have this, and this, and this, and..." Carrying on until your plate is heaped high and still you want a bit more.
		Greenland's coolly mannered voice here is perfect for the steady build-up of menace that lurks behind many of his better stories.
		Colin Greenland is quite clearly at his best when he is being Colin Greenland.

		Colin Greenland: There is this compulsion to read a Michael Moorcock book to see a character continue to see what happens, but also your writing is so prolific it is possible to take a slice.

	The New York Times > Magazine > Susanna Clarke's Magic Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The co-instructor, Colin Greenland, was a renowned critic and champion of the genre who had long argued that it be taken seriously as literature, which Clarke appreciated.
		By the time she reached Greenland's class, she had worked in publishing and written most of two novels, one about angels who visit Liverpool wearing fl suits and white shoes (it was the New Romantic period of the 80's, she explained sheepishly) and the other a detective novel.
		She fell in love with Greenland and coaxed him up to Cambridge from London, where he had been living for years in a house known for having no heating and being a sort of colony for science-fiction writers.

	The Entropy Exhibition
		Colin Greenland is these days better known as a science fiction novelist, but based on this book, he apparantely started out as a sf critic.
		Each in their own way were misfits within science fiction before the wave struck: Aldiss came from a traditional literary background, Moorcock had been an editor at age 16 and had written more stories before his 20th than a lot of people do in their whole life and Ballard always had done his own thing.
		It is in these chapters that Greenland puts together his theory of the New Wave: that, as the title of the book shows, it is all about coming to terms with Entropy.

	JTB New York report sent to criminal lawyer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Greenland also put up a red flag around the JTB spending, of US$1.2 million over a five-year period, with a Florida-based company named Zeb Tech Designs, for the printing of brochures.
		The Greenland report also highlighted weaknesses in accounting procedures, poor record-keeping, conflict of interests in sourcing material and an almost blurring of the lines between the use of JTB resources for company and personal use.
		According to the Sunday Observer sources, Strachan, in his review of Greenland's report, as well as his own follow-up, came to the conclusion that there appeared to be matters demanding either restitution to the JTB or maybe even criminal proceedings against some individuals and/or firms.

		Colin Greenland’s Take Back Plenty astonished a lot of people with its vivacious reappraisal of the Space Opera genre, featuring a devil-may-care heroine in the memorable Tabitha Jute, barge-owner and inadvertent saver of humanity from alien takeover.
		In the end she took back Plenty, the vast possibly sentient alien spaceship built by the Frasque, that supposedly long-extinct race rumours of whose survival occasionally shook the fragile world of human space.
		It’s the second volume of what is now called "The Tabitha Jute Trilogy", so after the initial phase of ‘Wrongness’, in which a problem is presented, this second volume is the phase of ‘Thinning’, in which events build up to a point where they have to be redeemed some way in the third volume.

		The U.S. engagement in Greenland is by most associated with its presence in Thule.

	Dragon/kolibri: Harm's Way by Colin Greenland
		Colin Greenland has apparently been described as 'one of the most distinctive and best loved of British sf writers', but I've never heard of him or any of his books before.
		This book is actually out of print (since the previous print in 1993), but I got it from Amazon's marketplace for 99p plus p&p, and although the book is in theory used it arrived in perfect condition.
		I think it was my suspicion of the book's cover, combined with the very formal 19th century English Greenland uses as an effect, I had difficulties with this book in the early chapters.

		The United States and Greenland and the Home Rule government, we are friends and partners and what we want to do is consult.
