From: DAVID.LEWIN <LEWIN@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> Along with Ted Sturgeon, Leiber is one of the best WRITERS (stylists) in science fiction--and beyond. An earlier post left out several of his more interesting books: "Conjure Wife"--an occult fantasy based on the idea that all women are witches and use witchcraft to further their menfolk's careers. "Our Lady of Darkness"--a literary horror novel set in present-day San Francisco. The horror is all implied, but very effective. "The Silver Eggheads"--science fiction slapstick; giant "word processors" produce books, with the nominal authors being merely actors, playingroles ala Hollywood celebrities. Leiber has been an actor, and appeared in one or two horror movies. --Dave Lewin lewin@cmu-cs-c -------
