Theodore Sturgeon's papers will live long and prosper at University of Kansas
From the LA Times:
The papers of science-fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who died in 1985 at age 67, will go to the University of Kansas. They will be held at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.

Sturgeon began publishing science fiction in the late 1930s, and became a significant science-fiction writer. "He was an influence on most of us science-fiction and fantasy writers," Ray Bradbury said upon Sturgeon's death.

NYRSF Readings: A Tribute to Theodore Sturgeon

N.K. Jemisin, Noël Sturgeon,
and Samuel R. Delany
Jim Freund, the host of Hour of the Wolf on WBAI, organized a Tribute to Theodore Sturgeon at the Soho Gallery for Digital Art on May 3, 2010 in NYC.

N.K. Jemisin read the Sturgeon horror classic "Bianca's Hands," and Samuel R. Delany read "The Clinic," a difficult read as the narrator has a unique way of using the English language. Noël Sturgeon moderated. Read Mark Blackman's excellent coverage of the event on SFScope.

Support Paul Williams
Paul Williams - editor, writer, groundbreaking rock critic, and one of the founders of the New Age - has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's stemming from a bicycle accident. It was Paul's idea to publish all Sturgeon's short fiction in a set of volumes that became The Complete Stories, and his story notes to the first eleven volumes were an important part of this project. Paul's family need support for his care, and both the rock music and science fiction communities that owe so much to Paul's work have organized to help. To learn more about William's work and to donate, see Paul's website. An essay by Paul, "Theodore Sturgeon, Storyteller" is published in Vol 13 of The Complete Stories, and can also be found here.
