"Light of Other Days" is one of the three short stories that
tied for first place in the penultimate ballot. Its author, Bob
Shaw, is a newspaper reporter who has sold a small but steady
stream of tales to the science fiction maga;.ines. He confesses
he is addicted to puns and whiskeyand the "e" in that
"whiskey" goes toward revealing something of his origins; for
Bob Shaw is a sturdy Irishman in his mid-thirties, Belfast
born and bred. He is married and has three children. He says
he admires the writing of Lawrence Durrell; the only science
fiction writer he will commit himself to naming is Anthony
Burgess. Though by no means as prolific a writer as Burgess,
Shaw is now working on his first novel, which has been
contracted for by Avon.
