4.0 out of 5 stars Essays, stories, and a bio, November 23, 1999

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Far Future Calling (Hardcover)
The late Sam Moskowitz, a noted SF historian, does a great service in bringing together these short pieces by the british SF author / philosopher.

None of these pieces are utter knock-outs with the impact of one of Stapledon's novels. Some, such as a radio play in which members of the last human species (see _Last and First Men_) lecture Londoners, are a bit creaky. All are worth reading, though.

Moskowitz's biographical introduction is good, but Robert Crossley's book length bio, and the biographical material in _An Olaf Stapledon Reader_, is better.
