Having been married to John Huston..I totally appreciated the Ray Bradbury story aobut the 'Banchi!'

i say, gents, i think you've found something there. howsoever betwixt and between, it may present a solution to out m i d d l e e a s t s i t u a t i o n -- if you get my drift.

Fair enough, I didn't realise you were being ironic and I apologise :)

Robert Silverberg was another great science fiction author who deserved far more mainstream recognition.

[KentAllard]

you've taken it the wrong way, my criticism was directed at the literary critics and literature professors and all that lot who have created the ghetto...and then the publishers who reinforce it by printing any old crap and calling it science fiction and the genuinely good authors who also reinforce it by shrilly declare they've moved on to 'proper' literature or attempt to add all sorts qualifications and alternate names, maybe Philip K. Dick puts it better than I can:

[KenfromDublin]

Oh dear, what a stupid, pig ignorant comment, he wrote straight fiction too, science fiction is a perfectly respectable genre, and his peerless science fiction was very much about humans interaction in extraordinary environments and circumstances, with the science only incidental and very much buried in the background.

You're obviously not very bright, God help you :)

[KentAllard]

of course he's underated, he has chosen to write in the literary ghetto that is most commonly known as 'science fiction'

[KenfromDublin]

I grew up on Bradbury's genius fiction, he is the most under-rated writer in Amercan history, and deserves to win the Nobel prize for literature.
