Going underground
The Russell Hoban Some-Poasyum was the world's first (and so far, only) Russell Hoban international fan convention. Taking place in London on 11-13 February 2005, delegates from as far afield as New Zealand, the US and South Africa celebrated Russell's 80th birthday with tours of "Hoban's London" and Canterbury Cathedral, while Russell himself gave a reading from his latest novel Come Dance With Me. This bookmark, specially designed for the event by Olaf Schneider, uses the motif of London Underground posters, each one a cover of a different Hoban book.
