Whitpunk
Foreword
It all started in June 2001, when at a forum called Fikshenmagz someone asked: "At what point did reading NF and fantasy cease to be fun?" The future co-editor of Witpunk, Claude Lalumiere, protested against such a statement of the question, and especially against the point of view that such a question implies, namely, that science fiction does not deliver the pleasure that it brought before. He immediately issued a whole list of recently published books of this genre, which could well give the reader pleasure in a whole range of ways. There was everything from hyper-adventure stories and idiotic satyrs to sardonic stylizations and black comedies.
Taking this list as a model, the fictchmagi brothers Marty Halpern and Claude Lalumiere began to think about compiling an anthology, which would bring together the armor-piercing classics of sardonic literature and the latest stories demonstrating that modern science fiction is of any kind, whether it be something completely original or the so-called “mainstream” - can deliver no less, if not more, pleasure than ever. And we (we apologize for such a sudden transition from third person to first person) settled on the name “Whitpunk” as playful enough for such an undertaking [1] ... But I'm sorry, here we ran a little ahead.
Let us return to the question from which it all began. Such complaints can be heard very often: that [fill in the gap yourself] no longer delivers the pleasure that it once delivered. To this we reply: bullshit!
When people make such complaints, they really mean this: “When I was younger, I discovered science fiction (or rock music, or sitcom, or whatever), and in my brain the image of exactly what science fiction (rock music, sitcom, etc.) should be established. Any deviation from this pattern is a degradation of form, and meeting such deviations, in my complacent obstinacy I will invariably declare them disgusting, since they insult my right to satisfy all tastes that I learned in my youth! ”
By proclaiming publicly that they want everyone to have fun, such people actually become some kind of policemen who suppress any fun; they are ready to destroy everything new and interesting, to discredit everything that does not combine with their uniform idea of entertainment. We are sure that you, readers of Vitpank, are above such petty feelings; you understand that to enjoy is to accept the challenge and be surprised, and the mechanical repetition of the hardened old paths bores you to death.
You are looking for such literature that would satisfy your need for entertainment through new ideas, ruthless irony, not knowing the boundaries of wit and fascinating narrative.
