From: callaghan%pseudo.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Gaylene Callaghan DTN:523-4523) I have been an avid SF fan for years, since I was weaned on "Runaway Robot" at a tender young age (quite by accident). Of all the wonders I have seen in my mind from all the best writers (and the worst), I have never heard of Ron Goulart. Who, or should I say what, is a Ron Goulart? Gaylene p.s. Also, I saw Dune! The best rendition of a SF novel I have seen yet!! One tid bit - the movie was dedicated to Dino's father.

Yes. Read Ron Goulart. He is hilarious (if sometimes a bit darkly so). I don't mean that it's heavy -- far from it; but a great deal of the humor derives from things falling apart. Malfunctioning robot secret agents. Hack romance writers who moonlight for the post-Holocaust CIA. Editors who have been transformed into apes. Just pick one at random. McD
