A Touch of Sturgeon

Theodore Sturgeon | 1987 | ISBN: 0671655264 | English | 256 pages | PDF | 6 MB

There are a lot of tributes to Theodore Sturgeon's work that poured in from readers and fellow-writers after his death in 1985. He was a genius of a story-teller, whose writing had a profound influence on successive generations of SF writers, including the American New Wave. He was also a writer of great tolerance and humanity, who was frequently ahead of his time in his treatment of political, social and sexual issues. He introduced alien intelligences, new social systems, marvelous inventions and strange mutations into his stories as a means of emphasizing the extraordinary qualities of ordinary people.

This book is a celebration of all that is finest and most original in Sturgeon's writing. David Pringle's selection is the first to take into account Sturgeon's whole writing career of more than forty years, and it contains several stories never previously published in Britain. It is a treat not to be missed.
