Beyond the Outposts: Essays on SF and Fantasy 1955-1996 (original) (raw)
Thought-provoking essays about science fiction and fantasy by Algis Budrys, award-winning author and critic. His long runs of legendary SF book review columns for Galaxy and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction have been collected in four critically acclaimed "Benchmarks" volumes. Now at last here are virtually all his standalone essays on the genre, including "Paradise Charted" -- a huge, ambitious and witty history of SF -- the series of seventeen "On Writing" articles from Locus magazine, and the eye-opening "Non-Literary Influences on Science Fiction" (after which the pulp classics will never seem the same again) -- plus personal memoirs, book reviews and much more. Most of this material has never before been collected. More than 210,000 words, including 97 footnotes!
