Colleagues, Re the above conference, to be held on June 20-22 2007 here at UU in Coleraine, we have received a number of offers of papers and have put together a small but, we believe, exciting programme. I will publish full details after Christmas. However, there are two fairly central texts which do not feature as yet, but on which we would welcome offers of a paper. These are Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle and Robert Harris's Fatherland. If anyone has ideas on this, I would welcome them. I would also ask you to pass on this request to any colleagues in English or other departments who may be interested. Best wishes, Pól.
