Welcome to the SF Author Lists archiveWelcome to the SF Author Lists archive. I'm John Wenn (MIT '81 (6-3),currently in Los Angeles doing Unix programming at Xerox), and I'm responsible for this. The master copy of all of these lists are held on the machine "ftp.std.com", directory pub/jwenn. (It used to be on "world.std.com", but now world has a separate machine for ftp access.) It all started in November 1988, when someone on the net asked "Does anyone have a complete list of books by Poul Anderson, Lin Carter, Fritz Leiber or Fred Saberhagen?" Well, having the time free, owning the necessary expensive reference works (SF bibliography is a hobby of mine), and Jerry Boyajian ("bibliography is his business") was taking a holiday from SF-lovers at the time, I compiled the list of books for each author and sent them out on the net. After answering those authors, I got several thanks, plus multiple requests of "Could you please do my favorite authors too?". I've now posted 296 authors, all of which are available here for anonymous ftp. The last batch of authors I posted was some time ago (July 1992), but I do keep the lists up to date. Once a month (generally around the middle of the month), I update all the lists. Updates generally are new books (either announced or released) as either personally seen by me or listed in "Locus". But I also include corrections, new pseudonyms discovered, corrections received from the author, and other miscellaneous changes. When I have direct feedback from the author, I tend to take their word for it (especially for things like what books are in which series and in which order). I'm currently working on a forthcoming SF Encyclopedia. "The Encyclopaedia Galactica" will consist of three volumes, the Encyclopedias _Galactica_, _Fantasia_ and _Horrifica_. Each will be cross referenced both internally and to each other. The books will feature "signature pieces," original essays by Marion Zimmer Bradley, L. Sprague de Camp, Frank Robinson, Anne McCaffrey, Norman Spinrad, Robert Bloch, and others, plus reprint essays by various authors. There will be general articles on "everything from Space Travel to the Living Dead to Arthurian Fantasy." Each volume will also include author/editor/artist listings (Biographies & complete book bibliographies noting series); sections on publishing (pro & fan & major series); listings of organizations and awards (pro & fan); film reviews; and probably other stuff I've forgotten. See articles in "Locus" (3/93 & 10/93) for more information. I'm doing all the bibliographic research for the SF and Fantasy volumes. The books will be edited by Lydia Marano and published by Prentice Hall, starting in 1996 (subject to change without notice). The current plan is for each volume to be both smaller and cheaper than the latest _The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction_ by Clute & Nicholls. Other differences between them include (1) Galactica is both smaller (in total SF size) and larger (it covers Fantasy and Horror with complete cross references between volumes); (2) Galactica has most of the articles written by contributors (big name authors and researchers) while most (85%) of Clute & Nicholls was written by them (with Stableford); (3) Galactica's book lists are both more complete and more useful (but then I'm probably biased). Since I'm actually getting paid for my Encyclopedia work, and since Lydia feels that my lists are a good part of the value of the Encyclopedia, I won't be posting new Author Lists to the net. I also don't permit others to publish the lists, since they are competing with upcoming Encyclopedia (e.g. the Clarinet 1993 Hugo Anthology CD-ROM). I'll probably release the information after the books are published. And in the mean time, I get the feedback directly from the authors (since Lydia is sending my lists to the authors for comment). If you have any questions, want an author I haven't released yet (individual use is a different issue), or have corrections to the lists, be sure and let me know. /John Date: 18 Dec 88 21:28:23 PST (Sunday) Subject: Author Lists: Bibliographic Sources From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 19-Sep-92 ---------------------------------------------------------------- A number of people have written and asked what references I've used for my Author Lists. So here is a list of my most used references, from most useful to least used: R. Reginald - SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LITERATURE (2 Volumes) (1979) This is my core reference. It covers 15,884 SF books from 1700 to 1974 (plus about 2000 retitlings). In addition it covers 1443 biographies of SF&F people. The book entries have title, alternate title, series and information on first publication (year, publisher, etc.). This is exceptionally accurate and complete. The only problem is that it's quickly becoming dated. A update has been promised in "Forthcoming Books In Print" for several years now (covering 1975 - 1990, 2 Volumes, 12/1992, $199.00, 1500 pages), but I'll believe it when I see it. (Please release it soon!) Noelle Watson & Paul Schellinger, Ed. - TWENTIETH-CENTURY SCIENCE-FICTION WRITERS (3rd edition) (1991). Larger than the second edition, it has all of the originals strengths and faults. This covers the works of 641 SF writers, lists all their works until 1991 (including non-SF fiction and non-fiction in a separate categories) and has an essay on the author. Unfortunately, this book isn't as useful as it could be (although it is better than the first edition). There are several entries that are sloppy or incorrect (large publishers are generally OK, but small press books are often wrong). In addition it has an incomprehensible system for putting a book in the SF list or the Other list (hard SF == SF, Mystery/Western/Romance == Other, Fantasy == Other [but not always, often different books in the same fantasy series are split between the categories!!]). This is really annoying for authors who write a mixture of genre & non-genre works. It does have a useful listing of all uncollected (in an single author collection) short stories [Randall Garrett has nearly 200 uncollected stories listed!] I generally only use this for the 1974-1984 gap, and can only use it if it's one of the 641 people listed. (and can ignore it when Reginald's releases his update). Charles N. Brown & William Contento - "SCIENCE FICTION IN PRINT: 1985" (1986), "SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY, & HORROR: 1986" (1987), (plus volumes covering 1984, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 & 1991). This yearly reference contains: (1) A listing of all books published that year (basically a concatenation of the "Books Received" section from Locus, see below), (2) A listing of stories published in SF magazines, new anthologies and new collections (it doesn't give the contents of reprinted anthologies or collections), (3) Misc info (year in review, awards, deaths, recommended reading, and the like). The book list and story list are given in several formats: by author, by title, items originally published this year, by subject (books) and by contents (books). The 1985 version is barely readable, 1986 & 1987 is a vast improvement, and all the others are even better (in format, organization and typeface). New volumes should be released every year. Kurt Baty & Willie Siros - THE WHOLE SCIENCE FICTION DATA BASE QUARTERLY, volumes 2-12 (covering letters B, C, D, N, T-Z). This ambitious project is attempting to list all editions of all SF books ever published in English. This is a work in progress, with new a new volume coming out 4 times per year. (Or at least it's supposed to. I haven't recieved any new volumes since late 1990). It's reasonably complete, but by no means error free. [I send them several pages of additions and corrections every volume]. If everyone who uses the reference also sends in corrections, the final will hopefully be reasonably correct and complete. Jack Chalker & Mark Owings - THE SCIENCE-FANTASY PUBLISHERS (3rd edition) (1991) This covers the world of SF specialty presses. Subtitled "A Critical and Bibliographic History", it is both a useful bibliographic reference (a listing of books) and a critical history (of both individual books and publishers) for about 150 SF presses, with information on a further 50 related publishers. It seems complete on the publishers it does cover (but small presses are not my strong suit), but I know of several small press publishers that were omitted. Several people who reviewed it in _Locus_ had strong disagreements with the critical and historical portions of the volume. But I'm not currently interested in those parts. You can't readily find this information anywhere else. LOCUS Magazine - "Books Received" section. [I own a nearly complete run from December 1979]. The lists all the books received by Locus from various publishers. This is both good and bad. The good news is that it doesn't have bogus listings (the bane of the bibliographer). The bad news is that genuine books that they didn't happen to get are left out. It's like a theorem from math I've tried hard to forget: you can never get an exact listing of all functions satisfying X. Either you ignore some functions that fit, or you include some functions that don't fit. So do you want accuracy or completeness? L. W. Currey - "SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY AUTHORS - A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FIRST PRINTINGS OF THEIR FICTION" (1979) What it says: A listing of the the first editions of all fiction written by 217 authors. It's useful if you need some means of identifying a first edition, but it's use is limited because it lists all fiction without regard to genre. It is extremely accurate and complete. I use it mainly as a check on Smith. Donald Tuck - "THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY (3 Volumes)" (1974, 1978, 1982). This lists all SF published (or reprinted) between 1945 and 1968. It's real problem is that it's so out of date. It's quite accurate (but not 100%). The real use is that it REALLY covers all books published between 1945 and 1968. It lists all the editions of a book, it lists the contents(stories, etc. in the book) and lists series. I use this when the relationship between older books isn't clear (e.g. "Are the stories in XXX a proper subset of stories in YYY?") William Contento - "INDEX TO SCIENCE FICTION ANTHOLOGIES AND COLLECTIONS" (1978) & "INDEX TO SCIENCE FICTION ANTHOLOGIES AND COLLECTIONS: 1977 - 1983" (1984). What is says: a listing of the contents of all SF anthologies & single author collections, all the way up to 1983. The Brown & Contento volumes cover more recent books. The first has about 2000 books & the second an additional 1000. While it is weak in hard-to-find, very old, obscure, british, or small-press books; it is quite useful and complete for standard titles. It's interesting to see how many times "Nightfall", "The Cold Equations", "Microcosmic God" or "A Martian Odyssey" have been collected [23, 21, 10 and 14 times respectively]. Also useful when the relationship between books isn't clear (e.g. "Are the stories in XXX a proper subset of stories in YYY?"). Various - "CONTEMPORARY AUTHORS". I don't own these works, but I use them at my local Public Library as an addition source. There have been 135 volumes of the original series & 36 volumes of the new series published so far (with about 2 more volumes published in each series every year). Each volume covers a couple hundred authors from all fields of literature & journalism. It gives an listing of the author's work (generally directly from the author) plus a little bit about the author. Major articles can contain several pages of essays or interviews. It's reasonably accurate (even if it does omit some obscure books) and makes a good secondary source to compare to my my preliminary lists. One thing to note is that I almost *NEVER* pay any attention to "BOOKS IN PRINT". It is far too unreliable to use as a serious reference work. (It contains many bogus books, primarily ones planned by the publisher but never actually published). You need a completely different set of references for short stories published in magazines (none of which I own, and most of which are out of print). Sorry to all the short story lovers out there. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com shareandenjoyshareandenjoyspendyourlifewithaplasticboyorgirlbyyourside-ly Date: 14 Dec 89 00:30:22 PST (Thursday) Subject: Author Lists: Lynn Abbey From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 11-Mar-94 With the *last* "Thieves World" anthology just published (it must be the conclusion, it says so on the cover), I thought I'd do Robert Asprin & Lynn Abbey.

The first was done in the late 60's - early 70's by Terry Carr and had some really great books. The ones that weren't success at least failed in interesting ways. This series published many of the ground breaking books, both by new and established writers. The second series was done in the middle 70's without Terry Carr. It wasn't nearly up to the standards of the first series. The "New" Ace Specials were again edited by Terry Carr in the middle 80's until his death, and were a great jump in quality. This time the goal was to publish the first novel of the hot new SF writers in the field. And it did, "Neuromancer" by William Gibson being only the most famous novel. Terry Carr's work will certainly be missed. [C] == Story Collection.

Most of this fame rests on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. This is a true multimedia event, having been done as Radio Drama, TV, Books, Records, Pop Songs, a Stage Play, Interactive Computer Game, and discussion of a movie (sorry, no comic books as far as I know). My personal favorite is still the original 12 episode radio drama. Give it a listen (NOT the reading of the books). For people who buy the omnibus edition (I've seen for $9.95 in bookstores), there's a extra bonus story "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe". He's also written a couple of Dr. Who episodes, and the fairly good Dirk Gently books. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.

I'm going to be posting authors previously requested for a while. Let me know if there are anyone in particular you would like to see. Old time readers will notice that this is a slightly different format. The reformatting was done for the Encyclopedia Galactica I'm working on. Mostly it brings the lists into standard format (years in parenthesis, only short fiction is in quotes, and the like). The only Lloyd Alexander I've read is the Prydain Chronicles. Like many of the best young adult SF, I read these when I was in my 20's. I had a lot of catching up to do. And I'm still a sucker for a well written juvenile. And the Black Cauldron is a fun series. Great characters, and wonderful drama. Personally, although the animated movie was fun, it's not nearly as good as the books. As usual. I've heard good things about his other books, but I haven't read them myself. [C] == Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.

He's one of my favorite "classic" SF authors, with a fine ear to characters and dialogue not generally found in the 50's. He's written far too many books to pick any one, but I can recommend the "Trader Van Rjin" stories in particular & "Polesotechnic Empire" series in general. The Hoka stories are also massively silly.

Here is someone who is capable of producing good stuff, but (on the whole) doesn't. As you can see, he goes series crazy. His best work tends to be either stand alone books (e.g. "Macroscope") or the first book of the series ("On a Pale Horse" or "A Spell for Chameleon"). The quality of a series generally goes down in proportion to its length. Still, he produces the occasional gem that means I can't completely write him off. Argh. [C] == Story Collection.

Poul Anderson and Andre Norton, among others, have all written more books. In this list there are ~71 different titles. But since there are lots of omnibuses, and duplications, one could get all the material by buying only ~37 different books (or nearly 1/2 of the titles are redundant!). Asimov has written massive amounts of non-fiction (e.g. "Isaac Asimov's Guide to the Bible"), lots of non-SF fiction (e.g. "Murder at the ABA") and has edited huge numbers of anthologies (both alone ["The Hugo Winners"] and with others [mostly Martin Greenberg & Charles Waugh]).

Personally I found the first few Thieves World books interesting, but I lost interest after #4. Now individually, both authors have written good stuff. I like the Myth Adventure series. Be warned that you must enjoy puns of the lowest order to really appreciate these books. A quick reading of the titles would convince you of that. In the first book, I also like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter (e.g., [approximately] "Travel is a great way of seeing new places and meeting interesting people" - A. the Hun). Like most series, the best are the first books, but I still like the later ones. Interested people should also check out various related comic books. Ones I know are a Thieves World, a Myth Adventures series, and two Duncan & Mallory books. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.

The "real" members of the series were all published with a unicorn's head logo on the cover. There were 71 books so published. There are also another 10 books "related" to the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series. They were all published in the same time frame, edited by Lin Carter (I'm fairly sure) with the same style of cover, but without the Unicorn Head logo. Two actually say "Ballantine Adult Fantasy" in tiny letters next to the spine and another two says "Ballantine Fantasy". I've been trying to collect them, and now have all but 5 of the real BAF's after a year of shopping. I haven't read very many of them, but they are a good place to find early fantasy.

Ballard is best known now for "Empire of the Sun", an autobiographical novel made into a movie by Steven Speilberg. But he was a major force in the SF "new-wave" of the 1960's. He was famous for his experimental prose style (writing a compressed novel in 10 pages). Not for everybody, but I can recommend The Crystal World and The Best Short Stories of J. G. Ballard.

John Bellairs' work can be divided into two categories: "The Face in the Frost" and his juvenile fantasy/mysteries. "The Face in the Frost" is a wonderful fantasy, at turns funny, witty and scary. Really recommended. His juveniles are an interesting mixture of magic and mysteries. I own most of them, but have only read novels in the "Johnny Dixon" series. Quite fun. The illustrations by Edward Gorey (a marvelous illustrator, he did the opening sequence of PBS's Mystery series) help add to the atmosphere.

Lovecraft), he's been given the status of honorary SF pro. And he does write some Fantasy or humorous Science Fiction story. His 1959 Hugo was for the story "That Hell-Bound Train", one of the few Hugos for a straight fantasy. And his most famous work isn't SF at all. It's "Psycho", the novel that Alfred Hitchcock used for his famous movie. I've purposefully omitted his works that contain no fantastic elements. "The Best of Robert Bloch" is a good selection of his SF-ish short stories. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet). [Abr.] == Abridgment of other title.

There is very little science in his work, even in his most SF-ish collection "The Martian Chronicles". Most of his work is either mood pieces, fantasy or horror. Virtually all of his work has been short stories (or poems or plays). There is, however, nothing quite like his prose. It has a very strong sense of place and character: small town, middle america for the most part. People who haven't tried Bradbury (both of you), good places to start are "The Martian Chronicles", "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Illustrated Man". [C] == Story Collection.

I've listed them in approximate order of internal chronology. She's taken an interesting approach to the internal consistency of the series: If she later decides that she earlier wrote something badly (which happens early in your career), she feels free to ignore those portions which she would do differently now. This can frustrate readers that keep a close eye on the internal logic of a series, but it does free the author to write better stories when her writing skills have improved. And as you can see, while Darkover forms a large portion of her work it is by no means all. Another major theme is revisionist legends (Arthur - "The Mists of Avalon", Mozart - "Night's Daughter" & Troy - "The Firebrand"). Personally I recommend Darkover stories from the Age of Chaos ("Stormqueen!" & "Hawkmistress!") and "The Mists of Avalon" (provided you don't mind revisionist arthurian legends).

Others like his books a lot. Personally, I tend much more toward the former view than the later. Although his first book wasn't that bad; what the sword actually *did* was fairly clever, and the background was well sketched (even if it did have the cliche Inn in the middle of no-where, where do they earn their money?). It really could have benefitted from a strong departure from Tolkien instead of a slavish reproduction. It was the first _Fantasy_Best_Seller_, and as such demonstrates the triumph of marketing over content (which is another discussion entirely). I haven't read any of his later books, he may have improved. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com itsallabsolutelydevastatinglytrueexceptforthebitsthatarelies-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brooks, Terry (U.S.A., 1/8/1944- ) F Series Magic Kingdom Books Magic Kingdom for Sale -- Sold!

That's because (1) I really like his mysteries [they're really great, any mystery fan should try them] & (2) many of them have been recently reprinted. Fredric Brown is one of SF's classic humorists. His specialty is short, short-short & really-short stories with a twist (or twisted) ending. He also wrote several memorable novels: "Martians, Go Home" [where the earth is invaded by little green men that don't *DO* anything, but do watch. Watch everything. And make snide comments. I understand that it's being made into a bad movie], "What Mad Universe" [an alternate universe where pulp SF is real life] & "The Lights in the Sky Are Stars" [a fine serious story of a man who isn't going into space, but helps fight for the Jupiter project].

With moderately popular British author, you get British only editions, American editions titled the same as British editions with different contents, and American editions identical to British editions but with a different title. John Brunner had several of his novels abridged when published in the US in the early 60's (typically as 1/2 of an Ace Double). The complete text (with revisions) was generally published in the late-60's. John Brunner tends to write two kinds of novels: a standard SF novel of above average quality, and impressive mega-novels. Mega-novels include: Stand on Zanzibar, The Shockwave Rider, The Sheep Look Up & The Jagged Orbit. I also recommend The Traveler in Black. [C] == Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus.

And I like him too. My personal favorites are "To Reign in Hell" ('cause I like mythological stories) and "The Sun, The Moon and the Stars" (one of the better fictional examinations on the nature of art). The Vlad Taltos series is an enjoyable romp for the first two books, but then the main character (a professional assassin), has some qualms about the nature of his work in the third book (I don't mind the change of tone, but I do have some problems with how the story was developed). The fourth book in the series is a prequel, but retains some of the tone of the third, making it an odd mixture. Rumor has it that more books in this series are being written even as I type.

The problem is that so much of him has been replaced with prosthetics that the Americans can't be sure it's *really* the same person. "Rogue Moon" contains an alien artifact (a maze) on the far side of the moon that quickly kills anyone attempting to enter it. "Michaelmas" is an excellent story of the secret president of Earth. (OK, the story sounds hokey, but it's really very good). His fiction is particularly strong on characterization. He's also one of the great SF reviewers in history ("Benchmarks" is a collection of his reviews, he currently reviews in F&SF). And he does the "Writers of the Future" anthologies. I can recommend any of the three novels I've read. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet). [Abr.] == Abridgment of other title.

M. Busby From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 16-Jan-94 F. M. Busby writes very good starts to series. I can really recommend everything in the Hulzein Family series except "The Rebel Dynasty, Volume II". Likewise, I liked the first two books in "The Demu Trilogy", then the third went off in a wild tangent. The first portion of the Hulzein series has some great, well written space opera. The main characters have the traditional amazing talents of space opera, but Busby gives them correspondingly large character flaws to make them believable. It also has some interesting strategy on how to run a war when you have highly relativistic space ships. You've seen the plot before: our heroes escape the oppressive Earth empire to gather a rebel army and defeat the villains. The details are what make it interesting. The last two books take place after the heroes have won, and are not nearly as interesting. And by the way, the Rissa books are interesting bibliographically.

Most of her work involves two series. The Patternist series has a society where the Patternists [linked telepaths controlled by the strongest] is fighting for survival against the Clayarks [humans infected and mutated by an alien organism]. The first 2 novels goes into the origins of the Patternists, the 3rd examines the origins of the Clayarks. The Xenogenesis series explores the consequences when an alien race comes upon the wreckage of Earth several years after a wholesale nuclear war. What they decide to do to the human survivors, and the consequences of this act (plus the interesting nature of the aliens themselves) forms the basis of the series. The Patternist novels can be read more or less independently (as you can see, the internal chronology has little to do with the order that they were written). The Xenogenesis novels should be read in order. [O] == Omnibus.

Each of the stories was narrated by the immortal Qfwfq who relates a story about some scientific principle (The-Big-Bang: on how crowded it was back then, Continous-Creation: Playing billiards with the spontaneously created hydrogen atoms, and the like). The wry tone is quite similar to Douglas Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy". Unfortunately, Calvino are hard to find.

Jonathan Carroll is one of the best literary fantasy writers in the field today. John Crowley, Gene Wolfe (when he does fantasy) and James Blaylock are other top fantasists (although Blaylock isn't quite my taste). As you can see many of his books are set in the same universe. If you pay attention, you'll see major characters from one book reappear as minor characters in others. I've found the result of reading the series to be cumulative, with one book adding to the effect of the others. I'ld recommend 'Bones of the Moon' as a good introduction to Carroll. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com upwardcompatiblemeanswegettokeepallouroldmistakes-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Carroll, Jonathan (U.S.A., 1/26/1949- ) Series __________Series Bones of the Moon (1987) Sleeping in Flame (1988) A Child Across the Sky (1989) Black Cocktail (1990) Outside the Dog Museum (1991) After Silence (1992) [non-genre] From the Teeth of Angels (1994) The Land of Laughs (1980) Voice of Our Shadow (1983) Date: 30 Apr 92 Subject: Author Lists: Angela Carter From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: rec.arts.sf.written Edited: 30-Jun-93 My all time favorite Angela Carter book is _The Bloody Chamber_. It is a collection of retellings of classic fairy tales in a decadent style. If you have read Tanith Lee's _Red As Blood_, you know the type of story. The two books, however, have very different styles. _Red as Blood_ is sharp and witty, while _The Bloody Chamber_ is moody and sensuous. _The Bloody Chamber_ also contains "A Company of Wolves", the source for the wonderful movie of the same name. In fact, "A Company of Wolves" is *the* most accurate translation from the written word to the screen. The movie adds an outer wrapping of a 20th century girl, and I think the movie uses a semi-colon instead of a comma, but aside from that one can read the story along with the movie. Both are a great psycho-sexual retelling of various werewolf legends, most especially Little Red Riding Hood. And the original story is only 12 pages long. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook.

It's "The High Kings", however, that's really special in the fantasy field. It's a retelling of the pre-Arthurian British myths (somewhat in the style of Evangeline Walton's books). Also interwoven are discussions of celtic society and culture & (in the hard cover edition) some really incredible paintings. This is one of the few instances of a "coffee table" book where both the text and pictures are worth getting. I've bought three copies of the hardcover (2 as gifts).

The Vampire Tapestry is an above average vampire novel, more fantasy than horror. It ignores many of the traditional vampire attributes (daylight, garlic, mirrors, coffins) for a tale of a human looking predator living within but apart from the human community. The Bronze King is a fun tale of two kids stumbling onto magical goings on in New York City. If you think that it sounds something like Diane Duane's Wizard series, you're right. I personally prefer Diane Duane, but they are both good stories. [CB] == Chapbook. (A small booklet or pamphlet). [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.

Not people in funny suits, like most authors. (If you're looking for incomprehensible aliens, try "Solaris" by Lem). She does great fast paced action, and intricate political schemings (often in the same novel!). I can recommend everything she does, with the exception of the Heroes in Hell nonsense, and the Merovingen Nights anthologies (which are weak but OK). /John [C] == Story Collection.

The ones I've read (The Tripods Trilogy) was a pretty good post-alien invasion yarn. The first two novels were produced as a BBC TV mini-series. John Christopher's earlier fame, however, was as one of several brits who destroyed civilization in dozens of ways in the late 50's & early 60's. Other members of this exclusive club include J. G. Ballard and John Wyndham. The best of these is probably "No Blade of Grass" (also filmed). In it, a world wide plague kills all variety of grass. Which doesn't sound too bad until you realize that rice, wheat, oats, rye, etc. are all "grasses". He follows several ordinary people through the entire disaster. He's also written in a variety of other genres using the names Anthony Rye, William Godfrey, Peter Nichols, Samuel Youd, Peter Graf and Hilary Ford. [C] == Story Collection.

For me, his only peer for sheer prose style in SF today is Gene Wolfe. But, while Gene Wolfe's prose is just wonderful to behold, John Crowley has a marvelous deceptive clarity. It's always readable. I'm caught up in the story, hardly noticing how I'm being carried along. But later, on closer examination, the harder I look, the deeper it gets. For the beginning reader, I'd recommend "Engine Summer", a marvelous story that's still very approachable. To me, however, "Little, Big" is his best work, dealing with many marvelous, quirky characters, the modern world and the land of Faery. It does take some some effort to complete, but is entirely worth it. I'm still not quite sure what to make of "AEgypt". Part of it is probably my obtuseness (and I've only read it once), part of it is that fact that it's not complete: there is going to a couple more books to complete the story.

His adult stories are generally Alfred Hitchcock mixed with a dash of the Twilight Zone. Witty, macabre, and with a surprise ending, they are great reads that often contain some fantasy element. His children's books aren't that far from his adult novels. Although written for children, they have a wicked sense of humor that real children find delightful. I am reminded of the cartoons of Charles Addams, or (to a lesser degree) Edward Gorey. His most famous work, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was successfully filmed as "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (even if the film was slightly sanitized). And "The Witches" was recently filmed (to be released shortly in the U.S.A.) and I look forward to seeing it. Another favorite is "George's Marvelous Medicine", for very few authors would let George do what he does (no spoilers). [C] == Story Collection.

His earlier stories (up until "Nova") are well written, have vivid images, and reasonably traditional plot structures. Then he spent several years writing some amazing short stories ("Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones" & "Aye, and Gomorrah"). Then he produced "Dhalgren". "Dhalgren" produces few ambivalent readers, people either love it or hate it. (I didn't particularly like it when I read it 5 years ago, but I'll have to give it another shot to see if my tastes have changed). Since then he's done several academic works on SF, written on the "Sword & Sorcery" series of Neveryon & produced "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" [the sequel of which still isn't out].

I've only read the "The Best of Lester Del Rey", but it had some very good tales. "Helen O'Loy" & "Hereafter, Inc" are both memorable. He's also important to the field as an editor, first in various magazines then fantasy editor at Ballantine then editor of Del Rey books. A word about those "Collaborations". I've read descriptions of these books ranging from "it was completely ghost written by Paul Fairman" to "Paul Fairman wrote it from an outline created by Lester del Rey" to "they were co-writers".

He largely dealt with the questions of reality: subjective, religious, quasi, psychotic & drug induced. One should never be too sure what is "really" happening in a Dick novel. Good books for the beginning Dick reader are The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (made into the movie "Bladerunner"), and Eye in the Sky.

I like this series, the earlier ones in particular (I haven't read The Chantry Guild yet, but felt that The Final Encyclopedia could have easily been cut in half). I would like to see some more attention on the other exotic peoples sometime. Aside from that, you'll notice that he's had many collections released in the last few years. These are generally composed of stories from the 50's and 60's. In terms of his other work, I can recommend Time Storm, Way of the Pilgrim, & The Hoka Stories (incredibly silly but fun).

I've read his first two trilogies (some of you may have noticed that I'm an omnivourous reader) and while the setting was interesting, Thomas Covenant was an incredible twit and his misusage of long, obscure words just got to me after a while (and the second trilogy felt padded).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the guy who wrote Sherlock Holmes. But like many working writers of the late 19th / early 20th centuries, he wrote in a number of different fields. He wrote a number of works in the realms of adventure tales, historical romances and science fiction. His best overtly SF is the Professor Challenger stories. "The Lost World", while not wonderfully written, tells the story of an egocentric scientist who discovers a lost plateau in South America where neanderthals and dinosaurs live side by side.

"So You Want to Be a Wizard" contains a really great alternate New York that makes so much sense, that personally, I'm not sure that it's completely alternate (complete with killer taxis, menacing subway cars, intelligent rats, and a dragon in the subway). She's one of the top quality Star Trek novelists (an honor she shares with John M. Ford). And her Door into XXX series is a fantasy where the setting (magic, theology, politics) is not just window dressing, but is necessary for the entire story. Her other work includes (flip, flip. flip) stories in some of the later THIEVES' WORLD anthologies (#6 and above), several issues of the STAR TREK comic book, some TV cartoon stories, and a computer game (Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative).

R. R. Tolkien forever changed the field of fantasy. (I'd put William Morris & George MacDonald in the same company). Aside from being a major writer of fantasy, he was a big-game hunter, world-class chess player & playwright. The prose of Lord Dunsany is different from modern usage, but by no means impossible (I personally find E. R. Eddison, Mervyn Peake & Clarke Ashton Smith harder to read). The best place to start would be "The King of Elfland's Daughter", a marvelous story of a King who falls in love with a Faery Princess, loves & loses her & then tries to find her again. The interweaving of the descriptions of Faery with mundane reality is especially effective. And for people interested in early fantasy, the best place to start would be the "Ballantine Adult Fantasy" series. A group of books selected by Lin Carter in late 60's to early 70's is now hard to find (my collection is now 80% complete), but contains some really good material. [C] == Story Collection.

People either strongly like or dislike his works (or, for that matter, the man himself). He has, however, won a large number of awards (several outside SF, including the Edgar by the Mystery Writers of America). I personally enjoy his work, but only if I'm in a particular mood. Ellison (like Gene Wolfe or Stanislaw Lem) is someone that I must have the correct mental attitude to really enjoy (This isn't mind candy, it a full meal). I've always been particularly fond of "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" & "Deathbird Stories", but "The Essential Ellison" provides the best overview of his entire work. [C] == Story Collection.

What I'd like to know is if she's ever going to continue her Chronicles of the Twelve Kingdoms series. It was the first stuff she published, it had an interesting setting, and it wasn't left in a good stopping point.

He's probably most famous for his Star Trek work (author of "The Trouble with Tribbles"). He's also done a number of fine straight SF novels. "When HARLEY was One" is fairly good in the Computer-becomes-sentient sub-genre. "The Man Who Folded Himself" is an excellent reducto ad absurdium on the paradoxes of time travel. "The Flying Sorcerers" is great fun (how many SF references can you spot?) And at long last, his Chtorr series is starting up again (yea!!.

The series only covered the first 1/3 of the book, where a mega-millionaire discovers that one individual (and possibly his relatives) has blood that keeps him immortal (immune to disease and aging). The rest of the book carried the idea much further, where all of medical science and research is directed to the prolongation of life to the few who can afford it. He's also done a good anthology series on the history of science fiction (The Road to Science Fiction, volumes 1 to 4 "From Gilgamesh to Wells", "From Wells to Heinlein", "From Heinlein to Here" and "From Here to Forever") and a couple of non-fiction science fiction related books.

She was one of the best writers at portraying believable, three dimensional children. This was probably due to being a school teacher for a number of years. Her best known stories deal with "The People", a group of alien humans who fled the destruction of the world and are now living hidden on Earth. These aliens have psychic abilities and how they interact with normal humanity forms the core of most of these stories. These stories also formed the basis for an O.K. film "The People" [1971] starring Kim Darby and William Shatner. And for those of us who have already read all of her books (which aren't that hard to find), there are a few uncollected stories. They include: "Thrumthing and Out", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/72 "The First Stroke", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/77 "There Was a Garden", _Cassandra Rising_ [1978], edited by Alice Laurance "Tell Us a Story", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/80 (also appears in _The Best SF of the Year #10_ [1981], edited by Terry Carr) [C] == Story Collection. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com wouldyoulikeajellybaby-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Henderson, Zenna (Chlarson) (U.S.A., 11/1/1917-5/11/1983) G Series The People Pilgrimage: The Book of the People (1961) The People: No Different Flesh (1966) [C] [O/N+C+4ss= The People Collection (1991)] The Anything Box (1965) [C] Holding Wonder (1971) [C] Uncollected Short Stories "Thrumthing and Out", F&SF, (10/72) "The First Stroke", F&SF, (10/77) "There Was a Garden", Cassandra Rising (1978), edited by Alice Laurance "Tell Us a Story", F&SF, (10/80) (plus The Best SF of the Year #10 (1981), edited by Terry Carr) Date: 4 Mar 89 11:07:57 PST (Saturday) Subject: Author Lists: Frank Herbert From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 5-Feb-94 I just *KNEW* that someone would ask for Frank Herbert eventually. Of course, he's most famous for "Dune". The consensus opinion is that the series went into a serious decline after the first book. Well, I started reading Frank Herbert when I picked up "Dune Messiah". I quickly finished it, said that was good, let's look for some more, proceeded to read "Children of Dune" and then "Dune", and then read the entire series in the correct order. Overall, I'd rate "Dune Messiah" (the first one I read and enjoyed) as the weakest of the three. Not because it's a bad book, just that it pales in comparison with "Dune".

But they didn't prepare me for how wonderful "Mythago Wood" would be. This book explores a couple of acres of England forest that's the remnant of the original primeval woods. It turns out to be much larger on the inside than on the outside, and is populated with the original mythological creatures of human history. Myths have been greatly sanitised over the years, the inhabitants are much more dangerous and capricious than most would expect.

Virtually all of his books were published after his death, and many of them are the result of posthumous collaborations or editing. And then there are all the books that were written by other people based on his characters. And most of the books are limited printings from small publishers, re-shuffling the limited body of work.

The film is a credible adaption of the book. Both versions tell the story of a super-computer that goes from control of Western nuclear defenses to taking control of the world. It's a logically presented with an opressive atmosphere of things happening beyond human control. It's recommended, although my all time favorite story in the "computers taking over" genre is still Jack Williamson's "With Folded Hands" story & "The Humanoids" novel.

A juvenile can have anything an adult book can have (except for wild sex). The prose is seldom as intricate as other adult novels, but that means that it can be clearer, more direct, without the complications adult life can impose on situations. Diana Wynne Jones (together with Margaret Mahy, Jane Yolen, and Daniel Pinkwater (for humor) are among my favorite "juvenile" authors.

The first novel is a very good novel set in a unique future. It contains all manner of fantasy creatures: vampires, centaurs, griffins, dragons, hobbits, giant butterflies and other myths and legends, but the story is Science Fiction (not Fantasy). I'll leave out the rationale to avoid spoilers. The story concerns the quest of a human scribe and a centaur trying to find their kidnapped family. The second book is a continuation of the first. When I first heard their was going to be a third one, I said "no way". The end of the second leaves absolutely no room for a standard sequel. And _Time Fall_ is not a standard sequel. It continues the story and has several of the same characters (sort-of), but in a weird way. Still, I think the entire trilogy is worth reading. [O] == Omnibus.

There's a problem with that. All work done between 1940 and 1958 by either Henry Kuttner or C. L. Moore (they were married) was in some degree a collaboration. Sometimes the partner wasn't credited, sometimes they were, and most often they used a pseudonym (Lewis Padgett begin the most popular of many). A bibliographer could go crazy trying to properly separate the credit on all the books. I'm not willing to go that far. So I'm giving you two book lists for the price of one. I'm breaking down the list by who was listed as the author on the book. Be aware that it was probably a collaboration. That being said, Kuttner & Moore were great writers. One of the major reasons they used so many pseudonyms was to avoid filling an issue of some SF magazine with their stories. And such great stories!

"The Left Hand of Darkness", "The Dispossessed", "The Earthsea Trilogy", & "The Lathe of Heaven" are all wonderful works that I highly recommend. Since that time, she's been working on scholarly essays on the nature of SF, several juveniles, and the occasional SF short story.

Here are his books that have been translated into english, plus an unconfirmed listing of his books that have not been translated yet (take this later list with a large grain of salt). Lem has written a broad range of works, from disturbingly serious (Solaris) to slapstick (Tales of Pirx the Pilot). He's used some odd forms (reviews of non-existent books). He has serious criticisms of western SF, saying it's too often used for action/adventure instead of serious imaginative works. In a Lem books, aliens are REALLY alien (incomprehensible).

Try "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" if you like a well written juvenile, or "Out of the Silent Planet" for Christian space opera. "The Screwtape Letters" is also an amusing set of letters between a minor devil trying to tempt humanity and his boss. [C] == Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.

She does quite good SF ("A Different Light" and "The Sardonyx Net"), but I prefer her fantasy trilogy. And it really is a trilogy. Each book develops a world situation, and then resolves it. The next book takes place ~100 years later, where the consequences of the previous book have developed to their logical conclusion, and the people of the previous books are a hazy story, if remembered at all.

She then went on to produce a very good fantasy: The Damiano Trilogy. The nice points of this series are the setting (Renaissance Italy) and the plot. Not to produce any spoilers, but very few authors would try what she did in the end of the second and all through the third book. I don't think it was completely successful, but I enjoy authors *TRYING*, even if they don't always succeed. Her next few books just didn't work for me, although they were all well written, and there are many who like them. Her latest, "The Third Eagle" is Science Fiction (all her previous works have been Fantasy of some flavor) looks interesting, and I'm looking forward to reading it when it comes out in paperback (I buy far too many books to afford hardcovers).

I've only read the two Curdie stories and "Phantastes", even though I own all five plus "Evenor". (Regular readers will recognize that I'm a sucker for a well told juvenile).

R. Martin From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 9-Feb-94 I've always felt that George R. R. Martin excels in the short story. He's written a couple of good novels (I liked "Fevre Dream" and "The Armageddon Rag"), but he's written several really great short stories. "A Song for Lya", "The Way of Cross and Dragon" and "Sandkings" are really great and I highly recommend them. In other fields, he's currently some high muckey-muck (story editor?) in the TV series "Beauty and the Beast". He's also in charge of (coordinator is probably a better term than editor) in the best shared world anthology going: "Wild Cards". It deals with the effects of having comic-book-like heroes in the real world. The mechanism is an alien virus that kills 90% of it's victims, gives horrible changes to 9% (the Jokers) and gives super-hero powers to 1% (the Aces). The first book was a wonderful introduction into the world. The second book was the weakest in the series, but it picked up from there.

A number of his books have been made into films: Somewhere in Time, I am Legend (filmed as The Last Man on Earth and as The Omega Man, Hellhouse (filmed as The Legend of Hell House) and The Incredible Shrinking Man. I think that Hellhouse (both the book and movie version) makes an interesting contrast with Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House (filmed as The Haunting). Both deal with a team of psychics investigating a powerful haunted house. Both are wonderful books with excellent movie adaptions, but they have completely different approaches. Matheson's story is a very scientific investigation while Jackson's story is more of a moody psychological piece. In addition to his books, Matheson has written extensively for TV (many Twilight Zones, a Star Trek, The Night Stalker, Duel, Night Gallery and many others) and Movies (several of his own books, several Poe adaptions for Roger Corman, a Twilight Zone segment, and others).

My favorite is his least typical, "The Ship of Ishtar". It's his one pure fantasy (his others were at least marginally SF when they were written). It's the story of an archeologist transported to an alternate world of Babylonian mythology. I also like "The Metal Monster" and "Dwellers in the Mirage", which are interesting "lost race" type stories. The first is concerns an alien race of metallic, hive-like beings in the Himalayas, and the second is about a hidden valley in Alaska and it's unique life. Worth a try to see if it's to your taste.

It does contain one directly relevant anthology though (other authors writing with one of his characters). Most all of his works fit into this huge framework called the eternal champion cycle. For bibliographers, he has this nasty habit of revising editions without warning, and having an interlocking cast of characters that make the relationship between books impossible to simply show. I rather like him, his Sword & Sorcery particularly (the first 5 series listed). I never could get into the Jerry Cornelius stories, that particular prose style always sets my teeth on edge.

Moore From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 5-Feb-94 Someone asked me to do a list of Henry Kuttner books. There's a problem with that. All work done between 1940 and 1958 by either Henry Kuttner or C. L. Moore (they were married) was in some degree a collaboration. Sometimes the partner wasn't credited, sometimes they were, and most often they used a pseudonym (Lewis Padgett begin the most popular of many). A bibliographer could go crazy trying to properly separate the credit on all the books. I'm not willing to go that far. So I'm giving you two book lists for the price of one. I'm breaking down the list by who was listed as the author on the book. Be aware that it was probably a collaboration. That being said, Kuttner & Moore were great writers. One of the major reasons they used so many pseudonyms was to avoid filling an issue of some SF magazine with their stories. And such great stories!

Paradoxically, she has won every Life-Achievement award given in SF. This illustrates that the body of Andre Norton's work is more important than any particular story. The first book DAW published was a Witch World novel. The first book Tor published was "Forerunner" Probably as many kids have gotten hooked on SF by reading a Norton story as reading any other author (Heinlein is probably tied for this honor). Virtually all of her characters must go through some rite of passage, making her work appealing to juveniles. Personally, I really like Norton's work. In her books, science and technology always take a back seat to plot and character. And while she isn't a great prose stylist, her style is effective in presenting her story. And to me, Andre Norton is a great *STORY-TELLER*. She writes both SF and Fantasy, and her stories are set in a wide variety of settings, aliens, cultures and technologies. Her most famous fantasy work is the Witch World series. This divides into two separate cycles: Halleck & Estcarp. I prefer the Estcarp stories myself. Although Witch World is better known, most of her SF is science fiction. And most of her science fiction is space opera (in the best possible sense): men bravely exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy, finding strange artifacts, meeting alien races and struggling against overwhelming odds. While her many SF books aren't really part of a single series, they do share a common background: The rise and fall of the human galactic empire, where many alien races co-exist and the ruins of other, older empires ("Forerunners") are scattered with odd and powerful artifacts. Psychic powers and partnerships with alien/animals are prominent. These stories take place anytime & anywhere in this history, with little details (the game of stars and comets) adding to the flavor. Listed below are her ~95 SF books, plus her ~22 non-SF books. Most of the non-SF are historical fiction with no obvious fantastic element. A number of these have been marketed as SF anyway (If C. J.

"The Drawing of the Dark" is an entertaining book, especially for its central revelation (which I refuse to spoil). His later books, however, are excellent. From the gonzo alternate history / time travel of "The Anubis Gates", to the bizarre post-apocalyptic visions of "Dinner at Deviant's Palace" to Voodoo and Blackbeard in "On Stranger Tides".

Of the two I prefer the Cheysuli. It has several standard elements: two magical races at war with the other (aka the good guys and the bad guys), a prophecy, and a royal line destined to rule the world. But as the series progresses, the good guys don't look as unambiguously good and the bad guys have excellent reasons for opposing the prophecy. The second leading cause of trouble in the series are arranged royal marriages, and their consequences [number one being the conflict between the two magical races]. And (my favorite) each book covers the next generation (except the first two books to set things up). Since each new book has a new main cast (with the surviving main cast of the previous book acting as elder statesmen) it means that *ANYTHING* (death, maiming, changing sides) can happen to the characters of the current book, both good and bad, as long as the plot advances toward the final resolution. And the end is approaching fast!

"And Then There Were None" is a classic tale of passive resistance. A lot of Russell's work is humorous.

Her two serious fantasies, however, I really enjoyed. The Healer's War is the story of a Vietnam nurse. The tone is much darker, and the characterization is much richer than her previous novels. The novel is at least partially auto-biographical, since Elizabeth Scarborough *was* a nurse in Vietnam. Nothing Sacred continues in this vein, being the story of American soldiers in the 21st century captured in Tibet and kept in a mysterious prisoner of war camp. A sequel is promised for Nothing Sacred. Given how that novel ends, it will be interesting to see the direction the next novel takes. [O] == Omnibus.

The early Silverberg wrote decent craftsman like stories (and a lot of junk). So it came as a surprise to a lot of people when he started writing the really great stuff after taken a few years absence from SF. This period of intense writing produced some masterpieces. Then he took off from SF for several more years, and came back to SF with "Lord Valentine's Castle". He's put out some very nice work the last few years.

He was an important influence on Fritz Leiber, Theodore Sturgeon, Jack Vance, Robert E. Howard, Harlan Ellison, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ray Bradbury. He spun unusual tales of exotic settings, all told in a rich (almost baroque) style. Although he produced over 100 short stories, almost all of it was done in the six short years between 1930 and 1936. Today his works are hard to find, but the Ballantine books of the early 1970's and the Pocket books of early 1980's aren't *too* hard to find in used book stores. His poetry is also of interest to the SF reader, it shares many of the themes of his short stories. [C] == Story Collection.

Although it is dated in many ways, its still an excellent novel on the applications and limits of power in the media. I also liked "The Iron Dream", a weird novel within a novel, written by Aldoph Hitler (in an alternate timeline where Hitler emigrates to America, becomes a pulp SF author and wins the Hugo). Like all good satires, the satire is close enough to pulp SF that it could be mistaken the original. Disturbing, but recommended.

It's not as complete as my usual list, if only because it's inherently more difficult to list all the books *about* something than all the books *written by* someone. This is a fairly complete list, though. Please note that I purposefully did not list comic books, fanzines, magazines, filk song books, game books, poetry, extremely juvenile books (coloring books, activity books, etc.) and most small amateur press publications. Because of the long and varied history of publication, I've divided the books by publishers: Pocket books & related publishers (current official Star Trek publisher, they are owned by the same company that owns Paramount Pictures); Ballantine (much of the non-fiction of the 70's); Bantam (most of the original Star Trek novels); and Other publishers. As for the books themselves, they are of wildly varying quality. Personally, I only read a Star Trek novel if (1) I know and like the author or (2) It was *really* recommended by a Star Trek fan or (3) It was recommended by a SF fan. My favorite Star Trek writers are John M. Ford & Diane Duane in the classic series & Peter David in the new series. [C] == Story Collection.

"Schismatrix" has a wonderfully rich setting, with humans of various stripes ("Mechs" - mechanically augmented & "Shapers" - biologically augmented) struggling for the future direction of humanity throughout the solar system. Bruce Sterling is also the major spokesman of the "Cyberpunk" movement, the politics of which I won't begin to get into. His short fiction is well regarded, having been nominated for 12 Hugo & Nebula awards (but never winning). I'm looking forward to a collection to come out in paperback.

He's actually had books published under both names (typically as Sucharitkul first). In addition to writing SF, he's also a composer of some fame. He has also just made a direct-to-video splatterpunk movie "The Laughing Dead" (starring, probably directed & possibly written by). I've been told this movie has great production values, a bizzare plot, and stars many SF authors as special guest zombies & major characters. Probably soon available a convention near you.

He also has a life long habit of using the name of SF fans and pros for the characters of his books. This process has come to be known as "Tuckerization". As for the books themselves, I've read and enjoyed both "The Lincoln Hunters" and "The Year of the Quiet Sun". I can especially recommend "The Lincoln Hunters", a time travel story where investigators from a repressive future U.S. are sent back in time to record a lost speech by Abraham Lincoln.

And those books are all quite good: "Player Piano", "The Sirens of Titan", "Cat's Cradle", and "Slaughterhouse-Five" are all very good SF. After that, however, things get complicated. In remarks widely discussed in the SF community, he publicly stated he wanted out of the label of "Science Fiction" writer. The repercussions that had is beyond the scope of this introduction. Since then he's written books that at least skirt the edges of SF (on both sides). And on a bibliographic note, I should mention the book "Venus on the Half-Shell". When it was first published, the author was listed as "Kilgore Trout". Kilgore Trout is a Kurt Vonnegut character; a hack SF writer who appears in several of Vonnegut's books. This confused some people, who thought that it must have been written by Vonnegut. The novel was actually written by Philip Jose Farmer. So don't be fooled. [C] == Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus.

His first story was "A Martian Odyssey" a good adventure staring Tweel, probably the first major alien character who didn't act like a man in a funny suit. All of his stories are quite readable today (even if some have dated). "The Best of Stanley G. Weinbaum" is an excellent place to get acquainted with this pioneering author.

These are rather good fantasies of a wandering balladeer in the deep Appalachians. The stories themselves are good, but what I find special about them is their concrete sense of *place*. From the speech to beliefs to descriptions, you feel that it *really* is taking place in the southern U.S.A. Also recommended is "Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds", a witty tale with Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger in the setting of H. G. Wells' "War of the Worlds".

G. Wells From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 7-Oct-93 What can you say about H. G. Wells. He has one of the most legitimate claims to the often bestowed title "Father of Science Fiction". He originated several standard SF concepts (the time machine & aliens invading Earth, among others) and help synthesize many earlier elements into one genre. His early work is still quite readable and is recommended. His later work (after about 1905) suffers from the tendency to do more sermonizing than story telling. He also wrote several popular mainstream novels (which have faded into obscurity), a popular history of the world, and many non-fiction works in his role as social critic. I seem to remember (although I forget the source, so this may be untrue) that he & Jules Verne vigorously denied that the other had any influence on their work. (The argument essentially being that Wells accused Verne of being unable to write his way out of wet paper bag; while Verne accused Wells of scientifically implausible ideas. It's interesting to see this conflict continue in SF up to the present day). One can get a good core collection of Wells in just two thick volumes: "Seven Science Fiction Novels" & "The Famous Short Stories of H.G. Wells", nearly 1900 pages of good reading.

His Sector General stories are set in a multi-multi-species (& environment) hospital set between galactic arms. Often the problem is to figure out what is normal for a new species before one can heal it.

I even own a copy of "The Tapestry Warriors" in hardcover I almost never buy hardcover (I buy too many books to afford hardcovers), but it never came out in paperback. She's done two series. The Torin series is an alien contact novel with a marooned human trying to get back to his expedition in a early-technological world with marsupial sapients. The alien culture and interactions between the two cultures are well done. The Rulers of Hylor series is a quite good fantasy. Each book is about the trials of the heir of a different kingdom. All three novels intertwine (the three protagonists are cousins), with the brilliant military victory in one novel is told as a stunning defeat in the next. The different points of view, and the very different personalities and goals of the three heroes combine to make more than the separate stories. Cherry Wilder has also written several good short stories, I hope someone publishes a collection soon. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com departmentofredundancydepartment-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wilder, Cherry (New Zealand, Germany, 9/3/1930- ) G, F (Cherry Barbara Grimm (Lockett)) (award: Ditmar 1978) Series The Rulers of Hylor A Princess of the Chameln (1984) Yorath the Wolf (1984) The Summer's King (1986) The Torin Series The Luck of Brin's Five (1977) [Ditmar] The Nearest Fire (1980) The Tapestry Warriors (1983) Cruel Designs (1988) Second Nature (1982) Date: 26 Aug 89 02:11:21 PDT (Saturday) Subject: Author Lists: Kate Wilhelm From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 5-Feb-94 I've read only a few Kate Wilhelm novels, but they've all been quite good. "Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang" is required reading, dealing with cloning and the end of the world. The other two tales of apocalypse ("Juniper Time" & "Welcome, Chaos") are also very good and recommended.

After ~150 authors, omitting Jack Williamson just **had** to be an oversight. He's had one of the longest careers in SF (61 years and counting). He is certainly one of the most readable of the Golden Age writers still active. In my opinion, his very best work is "The Humanoids" (my edition also includes the great the short story "With Folded Hands"). It deals with the invention of a race of robots charged "To Serve And Obey, And Guard Men From Harm". The problem is that they judge everything from bicycles to unsupervised sex as too harmful to be allowed. Forget Steven King, this is scary. Also quite good is "Three From the Legion" (one of the best written space operas of the golden age), "Darker Than You Think" (one of the few novels that deal with werewolves) and "SeeTee" (anti-matter or "contraterrane" as it was known). "The Best of Jack Williamson" is a good selection of his stories. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet).

Williams From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 5-Feb-94 Paul O. Williams has done one really good series: the Pelbar Cycle. This is an extremely well done post-apocalypse setting. Unlike most stories in this vein, I actually *believed* there would be enough people to start over. It takes place about 1000 years after the devastation (hint, it's not your standard nuclear war even though there is a number of uninhabitable radioactive areas). By this point the population has built up where isolated groups of people are beginning to expand beyond their borders. The books have a rich variety of political, economic, and religious systems, languages, art, technology. etc. The story follows a natural progression as the society and people change as a result of the events of all the previous books. Heroes are explorers, inventors, diplomats, warriors as the needs of the environment change.

Best known as the co-author of the "Illuminatus" trilogy, he's written several other books on the same themes of paranoia, conspiracy and search for alternate awareness. Because his work is orthogonal to the fiction / non-fiction axis, I've listed his non-fiction as well. "Masks of the Illuminati" is probably the best stand-alone book, but I'd personally recommend going for the entire "Illuminatus" trilogy. Don't worry if you find it confusing, it's designed that way.

His early work is mixed ("The Fifth Head of Cerberus" is recommended, and I also liked "Peace", but that's an individual quirk). Coming into the 1980's is where he really shines. "The Book of the New Sun". Words fail me. It's just amazing, for the use of language if nothing else. After that, it becomes even more subjective than usual. I rather like "Soldier of the Mist", but I'm withholding judgment until the series is complete. Of all his story collections (and I haven't read his recent ones), "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories" is the best. The beginning Wolfe reader should probably start on "The Island of Doctor Death..." or "The Fifth Head of Cerberus", before going on to "The Shadow of the Torturer" or other works. Personally, I must be in the correct frame of mind to read Wolfe. This is stuff that you have to pay attention to when you read, not skim over for entertainment. But the rewards make it worth all the effort. Give him a try. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet). [O] == Omnibus.

He's one of a handful of british authors who achieved SF fame in the 1950's by destroying the earth in a variety of interesting ways (see also J. G. Ballard, Brian Aldiss & John Christopher). Two of his novels have been filmed, "The Day of the Triffids" (as a fair movie and excellent TV movie) and The Midwich Cuckoos" (a very effective movie). His stories tend to be about fantastic things happening to very believable people. Recommended both for his interesting ideas, but most especially for his characterizations.
