...Such a stomach-turning cover will pretty much insure that few readers pick up this book, a diverting, often fascinating grab-bag of fiction (and some nonfiction) by Breuer (1889-1945). It's a shame, given editor Michael R. Page's objective and the quality of the work within. A near-forgotten pioneer of the genre -- so pioneering that it was still called by the portmanteau "scientifiction" -- Breuer was (according to Page) the "first new writer of consequence who can be said to have started his career in the science fiction magazines."...

Gathered here for the first time are Miles J. Breuer's first publication, "The Man with the Strange Head"; his neglected dystopian novel Paradise and Iron (appearing here in book form for the first time); stories such as "Gostak and the Doshes" and "Mechanocracy"; and Breuer's essay "The Future of Scientifiction," one of the early critical statements of the genre. Also included are some of the author's letters from the Discussions column of Amazing Stories. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
