SF study guide

This was a fun but exhausting project: I just finished the "Science Fiction" entry for the Research Guide to American Literature: Post War Literature, 1945-1970, co-authored with James Gunn. Fun because I got to do lots of research on this fascinating period in SF's history, going through a bunch of wonderful resource texts here in the Center's SF Research Library. Exhausting because the deadline was much too short, especially considering all the other stuff going on at work lately.

Now I want to write more material like this....

But it's done, edited by Jim, revised by me (mostly to cut 1000 words, ugh), and off to the editor, John Cusatis. Woohoo! Should be a really neat resource for teaching that period of American lit.
