	Victor Fox, pg. 2
		Although it is the early Fox covers of Fine and Simon that are best known, several semi-classic golden age covers were produced at the end of the title runs in late 1941 by Ramona Patenaude.
		Fox, noticing that the Blue Beetle was the most popular of his characters aggressively pursued “marketing” of this character in manner of Superman.
		Fox Features had a successful rebirth during the mid- and late1940s producing crime, humor and “good girl” comics (integrating its business by buying a paper mill on October 23, 1947 and purchasing a printing company).

	An urban-fox novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Foxes were not a part of their world and they would have hardly been more surprised to see a puma.
		They are the street-urchins of the fox world, without territories of their own, usually hungry, unable to sleep in peace, tormented by the animosity of those whose friendship they most covet.
		The foxes reclaimed their attention in a serious way around the middle of March when the Johnsons saw that the cubbing earth was in use once again.

	The Suburban Timeshare: an urban fox novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The author is a fox enthusiast who knows his stuff, and it is his deep emotional attachment to the subject that makes this such a compelling read.
		The fox is depicted as a cold-blooded killer - one who sometimes even kills for pleasure, simply to hone his hunting skills - and yet not without the saving grace of recognition as an animal who is dependent on the ability to murder other animals in order to stay alive.
		In stunning prose, the phases of a fox cub's life are depicted in turn: the dependence on the mother vixen, the process of learning to kill or be killed, the gradual awareness of one's place in the fox hierarchy, loss of a parent, loss of virginity, and so on.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Fox Woman
		Perhaps it is a sign that the novel is destined to burble underground until it achieves its proper status.
		This isn't simply the tale of a fox falling in love with a Japanese man, as some reviews may have suggested, nor only a man falling in love with a fox, but also the wife that was caught in between and the taboos that have forced them into this situation.
		Fast-paced, this novel is not -- if such could be named a flaw -- but the author on rare occasion may have felt the lack and tried to inject unnecessary and narratively-unfelt tension.

		But a young fox named Kitsune and her brother, mother, and grandfather have set up their den in the run-down estate, and soon the fate of both families becomes intertwined; Yoshifuji becomes bewitched by the foxes, and Kitsune in turn falls in love with him, much to the distress of all others involved, especially Shikujo.
		In Kij Johnson's fantasy novel, The Fox Woman, she blends Japanese folklore with a style of poetry that is both traditional and clearly her own.
		This is a wonderfully poetic novel that is told in diary format from three sources; the fox girl, the man she loves, and his wife.

	Review: The Fox Woman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This book took a very simple path, using the illusions of fox magic (a very well established set of powers in japanese fable) to help Kitsune create first the seeming of humanity and the means to become close to Yoshifuji.
		It's a marvelous premise, and all of the characters are treated in the double light of who their various cultures want them to be, and the tensions that struggle inside them.
		Be forwarned, this is a story about a fox who starts out her quest as an unnatural animal attraction to a human.

		Both Giardina and Still have images of the death of a fox and what it represents, and Fox uses "Fox" as the nickname of a character so as to suggest to the reader what should be expected from this particular individual.
		In this novel, the fox's symbolic role is conventional or even stereotypical: that of the loner who is sly and deceitful.
		Using the fox to represent images and ideas is a poetic device that has been used in these subtle ways for centuries, making these contemporary Appalachian authors and poets part of a long long literary and cultural tradition.

	Meet the Fox Queen!
		"The Fox Queen," a screenplay I wrote a few years back and have been tinkering with in odd moments since.
		It's done minor rounds through Hollywood, but the general consensus is that it's a great story, but the studios only do one or two blockbusters a year and everyone already has their pet projects.
		"The Fox Queen," will be going offline for a while, but in the meantime, I might as well let folks read it here, since while the screenplay is an artform, it, like the stageplay, is not considered to be a publication until it is actually produced.

		In her skillful debut, Kij Johnson takes this classic Japanese myth (based in large part on a Royall Tyler translation of a particular story) and spins it into a luminous, lyrical tale, a tender and whisper-quiet study of love, desire, joy, and the nature of the soul.
		But a young fox named Kitsune and her brother, mother, and grandfather have set up their den in the run-down estate, and soon the fate of both families becomes intertwined; Yoshifuji becomes bewitched by the foxes, and Kitsune in turn falls in love with him, much to the distress of all others involved, especially Shikujo.

		The Snow Fox: A Novel Review: I was drawn to this book because of the subject matter/time period (medieval Japan) but was sorely disappointed by this unremarkable book.
		Actually, really, the focus is on Matsuhito, who after the big battle is separated from the beautiful Lady Utsu, and who spends the rest of the novel wandering around the snowy mountains with his horse and his symbolic pet fox looking for her.

	: RevolutionSF - The Fox Woman : Review
		Once, a man fell in love with a fox and, because he loved Kitsune, Kaya No Yoshifuji was an accomplice to the illusory magic she spun and believed her a real woman.
		In this way, a family of foxes and a family of humans intertwine in Kij Johnson's The Fox Woman, a loose retelling of a Japanese fable and the first of three novels to be set in Heian-era Japan.
		The pace of the novel is not fast, but reflective; the narrative takes the form of the diaries of each of the three main characters and, as expected for members of the Japanese court, Shikujo and Yoshifuji constantly compose poetry for themselves and each other.

	Fox Unveils a Division for Religious-Oriented Films - New York Times
		But the new division at Fox is thus far the biggest concerted effort by a major Hollywood studio to seek out films that will feed what many see as a growing, and underserved, Christian audience.
		Matt Crouch, a Christian producer, said the move by Fox was a drift toward the mainstream for religious filmmaking, similar to what happened with Christian music a few years ago.
		Fox will also distribute the DVD of the film, which does not have an overtly Christian point of view, around Easter and the Jewish holiday of Purim, which commemorates the ancient tale.

		But the best piece of acting is in the scene in the car leaving the funeral – although she has no lines here, she still manages to convey the awkwardness and fear that must be going through the character's mind, in her eye movements of embarrassedly not knowing where to look.

		Based on the award - winning short story Fox Magic, Kij Johnson's THE FOX WOMAN is a haunting novel of love and magic, of Kitsune, the young fox kit who catches a glimpse of a Japanese nobleman and resolves to snare his heart.
		Set against the backdrop of medieval Japanese society, THE FOX WOMAN is both a retelling of the classic Japanese animal fable and a stunning exploration of what it means to be in love, whether fox or woman, and what paths one will take to try to find the mercurial ghost that is happiness.
		Although the author allows us a wonderful insight into the feelings of the fox and her family - both as fox and as human - I couldn't help wishing that there was more, somehow.
