Theodore Sturgeon
Theodore Sturgeon has delighted readers around the world with science fiction and fantasy for over forty years. His prize-winning novel More Than Human has been translated into sixteen languages, and his versatile pen has given us everything from the famous monster fantasy 'IT' to fairy tales and several episodes of Star Trek. Sturgeon's probing mind has wrestled with the most pressing problems of human relations.
Lucy Menger's perceptive study explores the changes in Sturgeon's outlook as his work developed. His books have examined the use and misuse of intelligence, the frightening possibilities of mind control, the lot of the outcast, and, setting a precedent, sex roles in present and future societies.
Menger imaginatively analyzes Sturgeon's extraordinary technical gifts—some paragraphs from his science fiction read like verse—and demonstrates how his work avoids the pat, easy conclusion. This is an excellent introduction and companion to the life and achievement of one of science fiction's major writers.
