[net.sf-lovers] Heinlein"s latest book

tim (02/07/83)

Mike Lynch made some good points recently about old-time
SF writers' adjustment to the advent of sex in science fiction,
but to include Farmer on his list was absurd. Phillip Jose
Farmer was the one who got sex in SF started! Remember THE
LOVERS? Also, this was not mid-sixties, but late fifties.

Not meaning to flame, just posting a correction,

I was saddened by "The Number of The Beast".  Heinlein did in fact seem
senile especially toward the end.

I guess he must have recovered from his CVA, "Friday" was a welcome
return to the old (almost) Heinlein from yesteryear.  He's still
chasing young girls, but at least you can follow the story again.
