The Review Now Arriving . . . - Magonia

It's only 52 years late, but here finally published is the review by the late Peter Rogerson of the biography of Charles Fort, Charles Fort, Prophet of the Unexplained by Damon Knight. It seems that John Rimmer, the editor of the Merseyside UFO Bulletin (now Magonia, had "overlooked and misfiled" it; it has now reappeared while John was "sorting out a bundle of old papers." The book, wrote Rogerson, "is definitely recommended, both as a sensitive study of a man who stood up for freedom of thought at a time when this was unwelcome, and whose ideas have had a not inconsiderable affect on later generations, but also as a highly stimulating study of controversial phenomena." And any true scholar of the works of Charles Fort should also not be without the remarkable two volume re-evaluation of Fort's groundbreaking Book of the Damned by Martin Shough with Wim van Utrecht: Redemption of the Damned: Vol. 1 Aerial Phenomena and Redemption of the Damned: Volume 2: Sea & Space Phenomena, published by Anomalist Books.
