John Sladek (1937-2000), Midwestern ambassador to the British New Wave science fiction movement, purveyor of antic satire, occasional collaborator with Thomas M. Disch. Now sadly obscure in the US.
Science fiction, it seems to me, constitutes the right brain hemisphere of contemporary fiction (the dreaming part). My work ... is probably somewhere near the lobotomy scars.[1]
