author and critic Alexei Panshin's very personal journey into literary analysis
and his own reflections.
Panshin discusses his own journey as well
as works that influenced his own writing and on science fiction in general.
Authors like A.E. van Vogt, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Caroll) and others have
shaped both the genre as well as Panshin's own art.
This work also discusses a broader critique
of the genre and its impact on literature and culture, drawing heavily from his
outstanding, Hugo-winning book, The World Beyond the Hill.
Beautifully written as only Alexei Panshin
can, the book perfectly melds his own personal journey, a unique perspective on
science fiction and the power of the genre to influence our culture.
