Brian Aldiss is one of the most influential--and one of the best--science fiction writers Britain has ever produced., "What he gives us here is the reality that underlies the fiction: personal stories, often of pain, that illuminate the work.", What he gives us here is the reality that underlies the fiction: personal stories, often of pain, that illuminate the work., "Brian Aldiss is one of the most influential-and one of the best-science fiction writers Britain has ever produced.", "Brian Aldiss is one of the most influential--and one of the best--science fiction writers Britain has ever produced.", Brian Aldiss has published something like a half-dozen volumes of essays in his long career, as well as a couple of fascinating autobiographies, but well into his eighties he still seems to be discovering new things about himself and his work. His newest collection, An Exile on Planet Earth , published in connection with the donation of Aldiss's archives to the Bodleian Library, revisits some familiar material-travel essays, H.G. Wells, his military service in WWI, his love of Mary Shelley, and his experiences with Kubrick and Spielberg-but also includes some fascinating insights into his own fiction and some provocative notions about SF in general, all loosely organized around the theme of alienation suggested by the title., Brian Aldiss has published something like a half-dozen volumes of essays in his long career, as well as a couple of fascinating autobiographies, but well into his eighties he still seems to be discovering new things about himself and his work.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
