Robert Sheckley in Bergamo, meeting the press (July 2000)

  • 14 years ago
American SF author Robert Sheckley meets the press in Bergamo. But why actually in Bergamo?
During his "genovese" period, when Robert Sheckley was living in Italy as a guest of Roberto Quaglia, suddenly Ray Bradbury became 80 years old, and people of Bergamo, Italy, had earlier invited Bradbury to Bergamo. But in the last moment Bradbury didn't go, and knowing that Sheckley was in Italy, people of Bergamo decided to invite him so that Bradbury could speak with someone in a videoconference. Before the event, a meeting with the press took place. This is the video.
