Writer
Volume 2 of Richard A. Lupoff's is full of the memoirs you enjoyed so much in Volume 1, but he adds some interviews with scintillating characters (Richard S. Prather, Michael Chabon, John D. MacDonald), a couple of speeches, essays about our favorite subjects (SF) and a bunch of reviews of books you read back when you were young and brash. It's 328 pages of pure enjoyment for fans of Dick Lupoff and the scene(s) he's chronicled for over 40 years.
Writer:
This is Richard A. Lupoff's third volume of memoirs, essays, articles, stories and more from his 6 decades of literary adventuring.
One Murder at a Time
Seven puzzlers range from police procedurals featuring Marvia Plum and the insurance investigations of Hobart Lindsey to a superbly affecting reunion story.
The Comic Book Killer
He was a white, suburban bachelor. A total square. Lived with his mother. Worked for an insurance company. She was a black, tough, streetwise cop. Then somebody stole a quarter million dollars worth of rare comic books. And then people started getting murdered. Lindsey and Plum were like oil and water, but they had to work together, like it or not! Joe Gores, author of Hammett and other novels, said: "Lupoff writes with intelligence, humor, wisdom, and a zest for life. He had a lot of fun writing this book, and it shows; because of it, we have a lot of fun reading it." The Comic Book Killer is the first volume in Richard A. Lupoff's hugely popular Lindsey-and-Plum series. Readers will cheer the return of these grand characters and their exciting investigations.
What If? #3
Back in the 60s and 70s writer Richard A. Lupoff knew his SF. He knew it so well he put out two books called WHAT IF? each consisting of stories that were eligible for Hugo awards and in his opinion should have won. He had a third volume in this fascinating series ready to go, but technical problems caused it to never see the light of day -- until now. Here it is, the legendary third volume in the WHAT IF? series, personally introduced by Richard A. Lupoff. The stories are: LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS - 1966 Bob Shaw THE STAR-PIT - 1967 Samuel R. Delany THE BARBARIAN - 1968 Joanna Russ SUNDANCE - 1969 Robert Silverberg THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR DEATH AND OTHER STORIES - 1970 Gene Wolfe VASTER THAN EMPIRES AND MORE SLOW - 1971 Ursula K. Le Guin PAINWISE - 1972 James Tiptree, Jr. MY BROTHER LEOPOLD - 1973 Edgar Pangborn
One Million Centuries
Lost and unconscious in the Antarctic, chopper pilot Robert Parker awoke from a frozen sleep one million centuries later, in a tropical forest, where butterflies gave the kiss of death and men fought with broadsword and javelin.
The Forever City
Teenage camera operator Alfonso Petrov joins a research mission bound for the edge of the solar system. But survival becomes another mission when the research team's tiny spacecraft strays into the Fiction Dimension. A madcap tale blending classic science fiction with Gothic horror.
