    Author

    Stanley G. Weinbaum

    Né dans le Kentucky en 1902, Stanley G. Weinbaum étudie le génie chimique à l'université du Wisconsin à Milwaukee, mais n'en sort pas diplômé, non plus que Charles A. Lindbergh, qu’il y côtoie. À la suite d'un pari, Weinbaum passe un examen à la place d'un ami et est découvert ; il refuse de réintégrer l'université en 1923. À Milwaukee, il participe aux réunions des Milwaukee Fictioneers, un groupe d'écrivains parmi lesquels Robert Bloch, Ralph Milne Farley, Raymond Palmer, qui fut plus tard rédacteur en chef d'Amazing. Sa carrière littéraire est courte, mais influente. La plupart de ses nouvelles sont publiées dans les années trente par Astounding, Wonder Stories Magazine, ou le fanzine Fantasy Magazine. Il écrit également plusieurs romans de science-fiction ou de fantastique : La Flamme Noire (publié en 1939), Le Nouvel Adam, et Le Cerveau Fou, ainsi que plusieurs romances dont une seule, The Lady Dances, fut jamais publiée. Il meurt d’un cancer du poumon le 14 décembre 1935, âgé de 33 ans.

      I red this long ago, since it was in my father's collection, so I do not recall it all. I remembered the Black Flame as character who was the daughter of the leader of a revolt of the semihuman creatures of this post-holocaust world, but on rereading a bit of it, I see I was wrong. Black Margot is the the sister of the ruler of this world, and it is another women who is the daughter of the former rebel leader.What I really recall is not the events this story so much as the brief vivid account of the former rebellion.
    • 4/5
      This was one of the better Golden Age novels. It was one of the first to focus on a character's motivations rather than the ultimate ray gun or the monstrous alien from planet Xipitax.I think Weinbaum would have been one of the real greats of the period if he hadn't died so young.
    • 4/5
      Nicely done Rip Van Winkle might save the future story, written in a style that says "Wow, if Weinbaum had lived. . . ." Ignore the self-congratulatory introduction by Moskowitz and just start into the story--you'll have a nice read.
