The New Yorker's Anthony Lane reviewing the new film "Jumper"--
"I wasn’t expecting Ernst Gombrich, but surely three writers, among them, could inject a touch of class."
The "Jumper" theme, teleportation, has been better developed by three other writers-- Bester, Zelazny, and King--
"As a long-time fan of both Alfie Bester and Roger Zelazny, I was
delighted to find this posthumous collaboration. Psychoshop is, I
think, true to both authors' bodies of work. After all, Bester's
influence on Zelazny is evident in a a number of works, most notably Eye of Cat with its dazzling experimental typography so reminiscent
of what Bester had done in The Demolished Man and The Stars My
Destination."
