An estranged lover introduced me to The world of Null-A. To use the new semantics, it 'seemed' to be her favourite book. As he claims, a little arrogantly I feel in a follow-up novel Pawns of Null-A that he singlehandedly created the French Sci-Fi scene. A little rich I feel. i think the French could do that themselves. For instance you wouldn't say that you had singlehandedly created the British Sci-Fi scene though you are pehaps the greatest influence on it but you'll demur that I'm shewer.
If you have ever read it which as a prolific professional writer you may not have what do you think of his work?
:roll:
PS The Fire Clown. I really liked it, the underground city in Switzerland, the comic pronouncements of Manny Bloom and the way you wove politics in an easy to understand way and Sci-Fi. It seemed to have the same tone. Though I believe WoN-A was written in '47 whereas The Fire Clown was in '67 though I suppose the similarity I saw bewtween their contents may be because it was a book I had bought along with The Twilight Man which now I think of it has even more sameness(and Suzanne K langer's Symbolic Logic) when I met the aforesaid estranged lover that may have caused me to compare them.
Is it 50 or 70 years after that a novel can be co-opted? I have planned to make a multimedia gamette for the web to excise me of my estrangement and the Elsk she laid on me based on it.
