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]

Notes are here for these books:

I recommend reading anything you can find by him, but my other favorite is probably Tik-Tok.

Other reading

  • Wikipedia - biography etc.
  • great interview from 1982 by David Langford, cited in many of these notes
