Margaret Hedda Johnson........ by Director Shaffer."Margaret Hedda Johnson was born in Chicago on December 9, 1900.In the early 1920s she attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Art

where she studied fashion design. Afterwards, she became afreelance artist as a fashion illustrator for various newspapers.She

married Myron "Slim" Brundage in 1927 and they had one son,Kerlyn. The marriage didn't last long and they separated, leaving

Margaret to care for her child alone, as well as a mother in poorhealth, with little, if any, financial support from her husband.

They divorced in 1939.

Desperate to get away from the mundane world of fashion -- and ofblack and white art -- she brought her portfolio to WEIRD TALES,

"the magazine of the bizarre and unusual", whose offices werelocated in Chicago. The magazine was founded by publisher Clark

Henneberger in 1923, and Farnsworth Wright took over as editor in1924 after former editor Edwin Baird was fired. After seeing a

drawing of an Oriental dancer, they gave her work as a coverartist for another of their titles, ORIENTAL STORIES, despite her

limited knowledge of colour reproduction. Her first cover was forthe Summer 1932 issue. (ORIENTAL STORIES would soon be renamed THE

MAGIC CARPET; it only ran sporadically from October 1930 toJanuary 1934.)

She moved on to the more famous WEIRD TALES with the September

1932 issue, and would paint a total of 66 covers for the magazine,

including all nine of the Conan covers. One of those covers helpedmake the issue a sell-out. Illustrating "The Slithering Shadow", a

Conan tale by Robert E. Howard, Brundage's cover showed a nakedblonde in bondage being whipped by a scantily-clad brunette, set

against a crimson background and exaggerated shadows.

She became the most prolific of the magazine's cover artists, withan unbroken streak from June, 1933 to September, 1936. (There wasPágina 1

no August issue for 1936.) Her lurid covers were sensational andcontroversial, if their letters page, “The Eyrie”, is any

indication. While fans -- and many of them were female -- didn'tobject to the nudity, some thought the covers were misrepresenting

the magazine as sleazy trash rather than as a distinguishedperiodical of weird fiction. But Brundage's nude covers soldissues, and

that was all that Wright needed to know. She signed her name "M.Brundage". This is how she was credited in the magazine until the

February 1935 issue, where her full name is given, identifying heras a woman. (This may have been an attempt at mollifying the

critics who thought the covers were sexist and misogynistic.)

Brundage's fashion training all but went out the window.Occasionally she would sneak in a pretty dress, but usually hersoft-skinned

heroines were either completely naked or covered in nothing morethan a wisp of gossamer. With wide eyes and parted lips, these

damsels in peril were being menaced by monsters or dagger-wieldingcultists; often they were in bondage being whipped by evil

priestesses; sometimes they were the ones in control, runningnaked through the snow with wolves. In any case, they were youngand

built like goddesses. There was little, if any, background in thecomposition, but always there were sexy, shapely females to

titillate the viewer. Actually, there was a female on all butthree of Brundage's covers (the April, May and August 1935 issuesbeing

the exceptions). Of Brundage's 66 WEIRD TALES covers, a dozen

featured bondage and/or flagellation.Brundage visited Farnsworth Wright at the WEIRD TALES offices atleast once a month. A particular scene from a story was chosen for

her to illustrate, often one of bondage and sadism or with lesbianovertones, and Brundage would submit a few pencil sketches. Wright

would then choose one to be rendered for the cover. Notsurprisingly, writers would sometimes fit a bondage and whippingsequence

170 Ezine Excellere englishinto their yarn hoping to make the cover.

Brundage rarely used models to work from. Occasionally a friendwould pose for the female figures, but she usually worked from the

pure ether of her imagination. She was paid $90 per cover, alwaysrendered in pastels, her chosen medium, and usually measuring 20

inches in height, but with varying widths. She was rarely asked tomake corrections and, under Wright's editorship, never asked to

cover up her nudes. "They would always pick the one with the leastamount of clothing," Brundage said. What's more, she was asked "to

make larger and larger breasts".

WEIRD TALES was sold in 1938 to a New York publisher, where theeditorial offices were also located. Dorothy McIlwraith wasbrought

in to assist Wright. Office politics and health issues forcedWright to resign by 1940, and he died later that year fromParkinson's

disease. McIlwraith became the new editor.

Because Brundage could no longer deliver the artwork in person ithad to be shipped, which meant she had to create covers in much

less time. This, coupled with the fact that the pastels wouldsmear during shipping causing a need for corrections and moreshipping,

marked the end of Brundage's reign as leading cover artist for themagazine. She made one attempt at oils, which the editors didn't

like, and after the October 1938 issue she only did eight moreWEIRD TALES covers, the last being for the January 1945 issue.(She

did no covers for the 1939 issues.) The magazine went tobi-monthly status after 1939, so even if she had remained Queen ofthe Pulps

her earnings would have been halved. In the late 1930s under newownership the covers were no longer risque. Wright's two other

discoveries, Virgil Finlay and Hannes Bok, both amazing artists,were on hand to provide technically proficient and bizarre covers

(respectively), and help bring the magazine back to its weirdroots. The magazine continued until September 1954.

Brundage, one of the few women artists working for pulp magazines,Página 3

170 Ezine Excellere englishlived mostly in obscurity and poverty. She continued painting and

gave some brief interviews in the 1970s. She died April 9, 1976,predeceased by her son, who died in 1972.

Her covers for Weird Tales are highly valued by collectors, andthe originals sell for large sums at auction. The cover for the

September 1932 issue of Weird Tales (her first for that magazine)sold for $50,000 in 2008, and in 2010 the cover for the January

1936 issue sold for $37,000. Often overlooked, often underrated,the best of Margaret Brundage's pastel covers for the pulpsdeserve

by Forrest Carter (pseudonym of Asa Earl Carter, 1925-1979).

The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my all-time favorite Westernmovies with one of the classic cinematic dialogue exchanges:Bounty hunter: You're wanted, Wales.

Josey Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?

Bounty hunter: A man's got to do something for a living thesedays.

Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

So, I was excited to find both of the books in the Josey Walesseries at the Open Library, Gone To Texas (the book on which themovie

was based) and its sequel The Vengeance Trail Of Josey Wales. Butafter reading about the author in the course of formulating this

post, I had severe reservations about posting them in light of theauthor's racist past.

Forrest Carter was apparently a violent, racist, miserable excusefor a human being. He once shot two fellow Klansmen over an

argument about money. He allegedly died as violently as he hadPágina 4

The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales is a 1973 American Western novelwritten by Forrest Carter that was adapted into the film TheOutlaw

Josey Wales directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.

It was originally published in hardcover in 1973 by a smallpublishing firm in Gantt, Alabama, Whipporwill Publishers. It isbelieved

that only 75 copies of the 1973 First Edition were ever published(one of which was sent by the author to Clint Eastwoodunsolicited,

which led to the film adaptation) so it is quite a rare booktoday. Only one copy is currently for sale on the major used book

sites,priced at $7,500. The novel was republished in hardcover in 1975by Delacorte Press / Eleanor Friede under the title Gone To Texas.

I added an image of the First Edition dust jacket to the end ofthe file so that you could see what it looked like.

Civil War. It was directed by and starred Clint Eastwood (as theeponymous Josey Wales), with Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Sam

Bottoms, and Geraldine Keams. The film tells the story of JoseyWales, a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered by Unionmilitants

during the Civil War. Driven to revenge, Wales joins a Confederateguerrilla band and fights in the Civil War. After the war, all the

fighters in Wales' group except for Wales surrender to Unionofficers, but they end up being massacred. Wales becomes an outlawand

is pursued by bounty hunters and Union soldiers.The film was adapted by Sonia Chernus and Philip Kaufman fromauthor Forrest Carter's 1973 novel The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales

(republished, as shown in the movie's opening credits, as Gone ToTexas). Forrest Carter was an alias assumed by Asa Carter: aformer

Ku Klux Klan leader, a speechwriter for George Wallace, and lateran opponent of Wallace for Governor of Alabama on a white

supremacist platform. In 1996, the film was selected forpreservation in the National Film Registry of the Library ofCongress. The

film was a commercial success, earning $31.8 M against a $3.7 Mbudget.

Josey Wales was portrayed by Michael Parks in the 1986 sequel tothe film The Return Of Josey Wales.

About The Author:Asa Earl Carter (September 4, 1925 – June 7, 1979) was a Ku KluxKlan leader, segregationist speech writer, and later western

novelist. He co-wrote George Wallace's well-known pro-segregationline, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregationforever",

and ran for governor of Alabama on a segregationist ticket. Inaddition, under the alias of supposedly Cherokee writer Forrest

Carter, he wrote The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales (1972), a novelthat led to a 1976 National Film Registry film and The EducationOf

Little Tree (1976), a best-selling, award-winning book which wasmarketed as a memoir but which turned out to be fiction.

In 1976, following the success of his Western novel The RebelOutlaw: Josey Wales (1972) and its 1976 film adaptation, The NewYork

Times revealed Forrest Carter was actually southerner Asa EarlCarter. His background became national news again in 1991 afterhis

purported memoir, The Education Of Little Tree (1976), wasre-issued in paperback, topped the Times paperback best-sellerlists (both

non-fiction and fiction), and won the American Booksellers Book ofthe Year (ABBY) award.

Prior to his literary career as "Forrest", Carter was politically

active for years in Alabama as an opponent of the civil rightsmovement: he worked as a speechwriter for segregationist GovernorGeorge Wallace of Alabama, founded the North Alabama Citizens

Council (NACC) – an independent offshoot of the White Citizens'Council movement – and an independent Ku Klux Klan group, andstarted

a pro-segregation monthly, titled The Southerner.

Asa Carter was born in Oxford, Alabama in 1925, the second eldestof four children. Despite later claims (as author "Forrest"Carter)

that he was orphaned, he was raised by his parents Ralph andHermione Carter in nearby Oxford, Alabama. Both parents lived into

Carter's adulthood.

Carter served in the United States Navy during World War II andfor a year studied journalism at the University of Colorado on the

G.I. Bill. After the war, he married India Thelma Walker. Thecouple settled in Birmingham, Alabama and had four children.

Carter worked for several area radio stations before ending up atstation WILD in Birmingham, where he worked from 1953 to 1955.

Carter's broadcasts from WILD, sponsored by the American State'sRights Association, were syndicated to more than 20 radio stations

before the show was cancelled. Carter was fired followingcommunity outrage about his broadcasts and a boycott of WILD.Carter broke

Página 8


9/46

170 Ezine Excellere englishwith the leadership of the Alabama Citizen's Council movement overthe incident. He refused to tone down his anti-Semitic rhetoric,

while the Citizen's Council preferred to focus more narrowly onpreserving racial segregation of Blacks.

Carter started a renegade group called the North Alabama Citizen'sCouncil. In addition to his careers in broadcasting and politics,

Carter during these years ran a filling station. By March 1956, hewas making national news as a spokesman for segregation. Carter

was quoted in a UP newswire story, saying that the NAACP had"infiltrated" Southern white teenagers with "immoral" rock androll

records. Carter called for jukebox owners to purge all records by

black performers from jukeboxes.Carter made the national news again on September 1 and 2 of thesame year, after he gave an inflammatory anti-integration speechin

Clinton, Tennessee. He addressed Clinton's high school enrollmentof 12 black students, and after his speech an aroused mob of 200

white men stopped black drivers passing through, "ripping out hoodornaments and smashing windows". They were heading for the house

of the mayor before being turned back by the local sheriff. Carterappeared in Clinton alongside segregationist John Kasper, who was

charged later that same month with sedition and inciting a riotfor his activities that day. Later that year, Carter ran forPolice

Commissioner against former office holder Bull Connor, who won theelection. Connor later became nationally famous for his heavy-

handed approach to law enforcement during the civil rightsstruggles in Birmingham.

In 1957, Carter and his brother James were jailed for fightingagainst Birmingham police officers. The police were trying to

apprehend another of the six in their group, who was wanted for asuspected Ku Klux Klan (KKK) shooting. Also during the mid-1950s,

Carter founded a paramilitary KKK splinter group, called the"Original Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy". Carter started amonthly

publication entitled The Southerner, devoted to purportedlyscientific theories of white racial superiority, as well as toanti-

Página 9


10/46

170 Ezine Excellere englishcommunist rhetoric.

Members of Carter's new KKK group attacked singer Nat King Cole atan April 1956 Birmingham concert. After a more violent event, four

members of Carter's Klan group were convicted of a September 1957abduction and attack on a black handyman named Judge Edward Aaron.

They castrated Aaron, poured turpentine on his wounds, and lefthim abandoned in the trunk of a car near Springdale, Alabama.Police

found Aaron, near death from blood loss. (Carter was not with themen who carried out this attack). In 1963, a parole board,

appointed by Carter's then-employer Alabama governor GeorgeWallace, commuted the sentences of the four men convicted ofattacking

Aaron.

In 1958, Carter quit the Klan group he had founded after shootingtwo members in a dispute over finances. Birmingham police filed

attempted murder charges against Carter, but the charges weresubsequently dropped. Carter also ran a campaign for Lieutenant

Governor the same year that saw him finish fifth in a field offive.

During the 1960s, Carter was a speechwriter for Wallace. He wasone of two men credited with Wallace's famous slogan, "Segregation

now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever", part of Wallace's1963 inaugural speech. Carter continued to work for Wallace, and

after Wallace's wife Lurleen was elected Governor of Alabama in1966, Carter worked for her. Wallace never acknowledged the role

Carter played in his political career, however:Till the day he died, George Wallace denied that he ever knew AsaCarter. He may have been telling the truth. 'Ace', as he wascalled

by the staff, was paid off indirectly by Wallace cronies, and theonly record that he ever wrote for Wallace was the word of former

Wallace campaign officials such as finance manager SeymoreTrammell.

When Wallace decided to enter national politics with a 1968presidential run, he did not invite Carter on board for the

Página 10

170 Ezine Excellere englishcampaign, as

he sought to tone down his reputation as a segregationistfirebrand. During the late 1960s, Carter grew disillusioned bywhat he saw

as Wallace's liberal turn on race.

Carter ran against Wallace for governor of Alabama in 1970 on awhite supremacist platform. Carter finished last in a field offive

candidates, winning only 1.51% of the vote in an election narrowlywon by Wallace over the more moderate Governor Albert Brewer. At

Wallace's 1971 inauguration, Carter and some of his supportersdemonstrated against him, carrying signs reading "Wallace is a

bigot"and "Free our white children". The demonstration was the lastnotable public appearance by "Asa Carter".

After losing the election, Carter relocated to Abilene, Texas,where he started over. He began work on his first novel, spendingdays

researching in Sweetwater's public library. He distanced himselffrom his past, began to call his sons "nephews", and renamedhimself

Forrest Carter, after Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first GrandWizard of the Ku Klux Klan and a general of the Confederate armywho

fought in the Civil War.

Carter moved to St. George's Island, Florida in the 1970s where hecompleted a sequel to his first novel, as well as two books on

American Indian themes. Carter separated from his wife, whoremained in Florida. In the late 1970s, he again settled inAbilene,

Texas.

Carter's best-known fictional works are The Rebel Outlaw: JoseyWales (1973, republished in 1975 as Gone To Texas) and TheEducation

Of Little Tree (1976), originally published as a memoir. Thelatter sold modestly – as fiction – during Carter's life; itbecame a

sleeper hit in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s.

Clint Eastwood directed and starred in a film adaptation of JoseyPágina 11

170 Ezine Excellere englishWales, retitled The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), after Carter sent

the book to his offices as an unsolicited submission, andEastwood's partner read and put his support behind it. At thistime,

neither man knew of Carter's past as a Klansman and rabidsegregationist. In 1997, after the success of the paperbackedition of The

Education Of Little Tree, a film adaptation of the second book wasproduced. Originally intended as a made-for-TV movie, it was given

a theatrical release.

In 1976, Carter published the sequel to The Rebel Outlaw: Josey

Wales, entitled The Vengeance Trail Of Josey Wales which ClintEastwood planned to film as a sequel to The Outlaw Josey Wales,but the project was eventually cancelled.

In 1978, Carter published Watch For Me On The Mountain, afictionalized biography of Geronimo. It was reprinted in 1980 inan edition

titled, Cry Geronimo!

Carter spent the last part of his life trying to conceal hisbackground as a Klansman and segregationist, claimingcategorically in a

1976 The New York Times article that he, Forrest, was not AsaCarter. The article details how as Forrest, Carter was interviewedby

Barbara Walters on the Today show in 1974. He was promoting TheRebel Outlaw: Josey Wales, which had begun to attract readersbeyond

the confines of the Western genre. Carter, who had run for acampaign for governor of Alabama (as Asa Carter) just four years

earlierin a campaign which included television advertising, wasidentified from this Today show appearance by several Alabamapoliticians,

reporters and law enforcement officials. The Times also reportedthat the address Carter used in the copyright application for The

Rebel Outlaw was identical to the one that he used in 1970 whilerunning for governor. “Beyond denying that he is Asa Carter”, the

Times noted, “the author has declined to be interviewed on thesubject.”

When the story of Carter’s deception hit the news, it wasinevitable that Clint Eastwood would be drawn into thecontroversy. From

Clint Eastwood: A Biography by Richard Schickel, published byAlfred A. Knopf New York 1996:"Clint was on location, making Unforgiven, when this articleappeared, and he sent a polite letter to the Times, pointing outthat he

had met the man he knew as Forrest Carter only once. He alsoobserved, “If Forrest Carter was a racist and a hatemonger wholater

converted to being a sensitive, understanding human being, thatwould be most admirable.”"

But maybe that wasn’t the case either — or possibly Eastwood wasbeing diplomatic. Schickel also relates that Clint’s producer on

Josey Wales, Bob Daley saw another side to Carter:"He saw a decent side to the man, reflected in warm, supportiveletters he received from Carter on the death of his father. Healso

saw vicious anti-Semitism, directed at William Morris agents, whenthe arguments about money started up. He finally came to the

conclusion that Carter was basically an opportunist, willfullyburying – but not necessarily abandoning – his racism so that hecould

rejoin decent society."Carter was working on The Wanderings Of Little Tree, a sequel toThe Education Of Little Tree, as well as a screenplay version ofthe

book, when he died in Abilene on June 7, 1979. The cause of death,reported as heart failure, was alleged to have resulted from a

fistfight with his son. Carter's body was returned to Alabama forburial near Anniston.

No one will ever know what Carter’s thoughts and attitudes reallywere, whether he was, as Clint Eastwood thought, "a hatemonger who

later converted to being a sensitive, understanding human being."But the evidence, such as his public denial that he was Asa Earl

Carter, would support Daley’s claim that he was an opportunist,whose attitudes could and would be put to the side where financial

gain was concerned.

170 Ezine Excellere englishBut having said that, as the popularity of the books would attest,Carter was a good writer who wrote stories that were not racist,

and depicted Indians in a light that had never really been seen inmain stream fiction at that time.

Carter is certainly an enigma. And despite what his actual beliefsmay have been, there is no denying that Gone To Texas is a great

western story, and a thoroughly entertaining read.´´´´´Here's an Internet Archive/Open Library find (not on Carlo'sList).

first got to Hollywood,Henry King was going strong.") He worked within nearly everyconceivable kind of filmmaking style: from the filmed-on-locationshorts

This is one of the best B SF movies ever, that is to say, it's sobad it's good.

BTW the special effects were done by Augie Lohman, noted for manyB movie specials (including Barbarella) His techniques were

reminiscent of the animation by Willis O'Brien (King Kong, MightyJoe Young, The Lost World (1925 version). and his protege Ray

Discovering Comics is a brief but information-packed history ofBritish comic papers (and a couple of American comics, FamousFunnies

and Action Comics).

Denis Gifford (26 December 1927 – 18 May 2000) was a Britishwriter, broadcaster, journalist, prolific comic artist and writer(most

active in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, and an historian of film,comics, television, and radio. Gifford's work was largely forhumor

strips in British comics, often for L. Miller & Son. He was ahighly influential comics historian, particularly of Britishcomics

from the 19th century to the 1940s.

Gifford was also a committed comic collector of British and UScomics, and owned what has been called the "world's largest

collectionof British comics."

Gifford's collection was the product of his lifelong passion forcomics and popular culture, and his highly prolific research work

was an attempt to provide a comprehensive history of theephemeral. Particularly in the early decades of his writing on thesubject,

pop culture drew little attention from academic research andGifford was particularly passionate about the most obscureexamples of

vintage comics, film, television and radio, and determined thatthey should be recognized, chronicled and remembered before extant

copies were lost.Despite his hopes that his vast collection might form the basis ofa national museum of comics, through an archive such as the

Victoria and Albert Museum National Art Library Comics and ComicArt Collection, it was broken up and auctioned off in 2001 afterhis

death, "leaving 12 tons of paper at his home to be cleared andsorted." Bob Monkhouse reflected in the foreword to the auction

catalogue of The Denis Gifford Collection on how one "whoseresearches were so meticulous have allowed this vast gathering of

treasures to have swollen into such unruly and uncataloguedconfusion". The sale was described in the auction pamphlet as"surely the

largest private collection of annuals, books, cartoons, cinemahistory, comics, ephemera & original artwork ever to come on the

market. The collection, housed in some 600 boxes and weighing tentons, arrived on a groaning lorry and took five men nearly three

hours to unload. We expect sales to run to some 4000 lots."

From the back cover:About this book:"The comic paper is a familiar sight on every bookstall in theland. No family home is without its collection of battered Beanos;no

attic or junkshop complete without its pile of tattered Eagles.Perhaps comics are too familiar, too common to care about, foronly

Great Britain is without its learned society of comic striphistorians (as found in France), a serious magazine devoted tocartoon

archaeology (as in Italy), or an Academy of Comic Book Arts (as inAmerica). Which is a pity, for comics were born in England.

In this concentrated but definitive history, Denis Gifford tracesthe evolution of the comic and its heroes from 'Ally Sloper' to

'Dan Dare', from 'Weary Willie and Tired Tim' to 'Desperate Dan'.Along the way he exposes a trade secret here and drops a hint to

comic collectors there, illustrating the whole with pictorial gemsfrom his own vast collection."

About the author:"Denis Gifford has been collecting comics since he learned to readon Chick's Own, and drawing comics since he contributed 'Magical

Monty' to All Fun in 1942 at the age of fourteen. Betterremembered (and better drawn!) are some of his characters whichappear on

the cover of this book: 'MarveIman', 'Jim Bowie', 'Stonehenge Kitthe Ancient Brit', 'Flip and Flop', 'Steadfast McStaunch', 'Our

Ernie', 'Mrs. Entwhistle's Little Lad', and of course, Kuthben KooKoo who komperes 'Koo Koo Klub' kurrently in Whizzer and Chips.

After a long career cartooning for Beano, Knockout and Comic Cuts,Denis Gifford suddenly threw in his nib and turned to the

typewriter. He wrote People Are Funny for Radio Luxembourg, thefirst daily comedy series on television, the opening show for BBC2,

and the long-runningradio panel game, Sounds Familiar. He has also published threebooks about films: British Cinema, Movie Monsters, and ScienceFiction

Film."

Today, with thirty-six books in print and an audience of manymillions, Heinlein is our most popular, controversial, andinfluentialsf author. Known as "the dean of science fiction," he has won theHugo award four times, and has been acclaimed by segments of

American life as disparate as the U.S. Naval Academy, thelibertarian movement, and Charles Manson. Words coined in hisfiction have

become part of our language.

Here is the only full-length study of Robert Heinlein's entire

career. H. Bruce Franklin provides a detailed examination of eachof

Heinlein'stales and novels (including his 1980 novel The Number Of TheBeast), the only complete bibliography of his works, an annotatedlist

ofwritings about him, and original new material about his earlylife. Franklin also explains Heinlein's key role in spreadingscience

fictionthroughout American culture in the form of movies, televisionserials, comic books, and games.

Franklin sees Heinlein as a central cultural phenomenon, anincarnation of "America as science fiction," expressing some ofthe

deepestdreams and nightmares of a rapidly changing society. By exploringHeinlein's imagination, Franklin offers us a new way of

comprehendingAmerica moving through the Depression, World War II, the Cold War,the Vietnam War, the rebellions of the 1960s, and the crises and

apocalyptic visions unfolding from the 1970s into the 1980s. (Avolume in the Science-Fiction Writers Series).

H. Bruce Franklin is Professor of English and American Literatureat Rutgers University, Newark, and author of such seminal books as

The Wake Of The Gods: Melville's Mythology, Back Where You CameFrom, and The Victim As Criminal And Artist. His Future Perfect:

"Given that Heinlein is as central to modern science fiction asscience fiction is to contemporary American culture, the serious

study of Heinlein's work should illuminate both contexts. Such isindeed the case in Franklin's lucid and trenchant analysis. Not

only does he provide a series of interpretations literallybristling with insights but the controlling dynamic which Franklin

discovers at the heart of Heinlein's fiction. . . has implicationsfor both the nature of the genre and the nature of American

society." - David Ketterer.

170 Ezine Excellere englishSo far he has written or edited nineteen books and three hundredprofessional articles and participated in making four films. His

main areas of academic focus are science fiction, prisonliterature, environmentalism, the Vietnam War and its aftermath,andAmerican cultural history. He was instrumental in helping todebunk false public speculation that Vietnam was continuing tohold

prisoners of war. He helped to establish science fiction writingas a genre worthy of serious academic study. In 2008, the American

Studies Association awarded him the Pearson-Bode Prize forLifetime Achievement in American Studies. A critic of the Vietnam

War, hewas fired from Stanford in 1972 as a result of his firmly heldpositions, and the termination brought nationwide attention to the

issue of academic freedom. Since 1975, he is the John Cotton DanaProfessor of English and American Studies at Rutgers University in

Newark, New Jersey.

Franklin has a lifelong passion for science fiction and has been aguest curator on topics about Star Trek and Star Wars.

His book Future Perfect: American Science Fiction Of TheNineteenth Century (1966) identified American authors includingWashington

Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melvilleas pioneers of this genre who wrote science fiction, contrary to

popular understanding. His Robert A. Heinlein: America As ScienceFiction won the Eaton Award for best SF critical book of the year

in 1981, and contributed to Franklin receiving the Pilgrim Awardfrom the Science Fiction Research Association for lifetime

scholarship in 1983.

His 1988 book War Stars: The Superweapon And The AmericanImagination was cited by leftist philosopher and linguist NoamChomsky, who

bemoaned the prevalence of a recurring theme in popular literaturethat "we're about to face destruction from some terrible, awesome

enemy." Franklin's research explored America's fascination withsuperweapons. He argued in War Stars: The Superweapon And The

Página 34


35/46


American Imagination (selected by Choice as the OutstandingAcademic Book of 1989) that popular American books and novels in

preceding decades and centuries, which dealt with the themes ofsuperweapons, may have helped to shape national thinking on thissubject. His book presents a view that, ironically, from RobertFulton’s submarine Nautilus in the 18th century to thedeath-dealing

weaponry of the late 20th century, superweapons ostensiblydesigned to end war have proved capable of exterminating the human

species. The expanded 2008 edition explores how this culturalhistory led to the seemingly permanent state of warfare of the

21stcentury. War Stars is informed by Franklin’s own earlierexperience as a navigator and intelligence officer in theStrategic Air

Command. When the movie Independence Day appeared in 1996,Franklin said "Fundamental to the historical experience of[American]

culture are alien invaders who came armed with a superiortechnology and wiped out the culture that was here."

In 1991, he was Guest Curator for the Star Trek and the Sixtiesexhibit at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian

Institution; this show subsequently traveled to the HaydenPlanetarium.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of: How Science Fiction Conquered TheWorld (1998) was awarded the 1999 Hugo Award for best "related"

(i.e., non-fiction) book.

It's an overview of the interactions between science fiction andthe real world, written by Thomas M. Disch, a noted author in the

field. It is neither a history of science fiction nor a collectionof personal anecdotes, but contains some of each, and is written

somewhat conversational style, designed to appeal to both a

relative newcomer to science fiction and an expert in the field.In this book Disch makes several arguments: That America is anation of liars, and for that reason science fiction has a special

claim to be our national literature, as the art form best adaptedto telling the lies we like to hear and to pretend we believe.That

Edgar Allan Poe was the first SF author (as opposed to authorssuch as Mary Shelley or Cyrano de Bergerac). And that the three

greatest SF authors are Poe, Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Helevels attacks against writers who in his opinion have attemptedto

trick or manipulate readers by presenting science fiction asfact—namely Erich von Däniken and L. Ron Hubbard—and examines theuse of

science fiction to promote a political ideology, singling outUrsula K. Le Guin's feminism and Robert A. Heinlein for advocatingthe

growth of the military-industrial complex. The book also examinesthe manner in which the real world is represented in science

fiction allegory, such as the argument that the aliens of StarTrek represent non-Caucasian humans, and that science fictionprovides

an insight into the strategies of the American military.

About The Author:Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was anAmerican science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo Awardfor

170 Ezine Excellere englishBest Related Book – previously called "Best Non-Fiction Book" – in1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Award

nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. CampbellMemorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards, amongothers.In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fictionmagazines. His critically acclaimed science fiction novels, TheGenocides,

Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings Of Song are majorcontributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996,his book The

Castle Of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, And Poetasters wasnominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1999,

Dischwon the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, ameditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, aswell as

the Michael Braude Award for Light Verse. Among his othernonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticism for The NewYork

Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also publishedseveral volumes of poetry as Tom Disch.

Following an extended period of depression following the death in2005 of his life-partner, Charles Naylor, Disch stopped writing

almost entirely, except for poetry and blog entries – although hedid produce two novellas. Disch committed suicide by gunshot on

July 4, 2008 in his apartment in Manhattan, New York City. Hislast book, The Word Of God, which was written shortly beforeNaylor

died, had just been published a few days before Disch's death.

Disch was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on February 2, 1940. Becauseof a polio epidemic in 1946, his mother Helen home-schooled himfor

a year. As a result, he skipped from kindergarten to second grade.Disch's first formal education was at Catholic schools; which is

evidenced in some of his works which contain scathing criticismsof the Catholic Church. The family moved in 1953 to St. Paul in

Minnesota, rejoining both pairs of grandparents, where Dischattended both public and Catholic schools. In the Saint Paulpublic

Página 37


38/46

170 Ezine Excellere englishschools, Disch discovered his long-term loves of science fiction,drama, and poetry. He describes poetry as his stepping-stone tothe

literary world. A teacher at St. Paul Central, Jeannette Cochran,assigned 100 lines of poetry to be memorized; Disch wound upmemorizing ten times as much. His early fascination continued toinfluence his work with poetic form and the direction of his

criticism.

After graduating from high school in 1957, he worked a summer jobas a trainee steel draftsman, just one of the many jobs on hispath

to becoming a writer. Saving enough to move to New York City at

the age of 17, he found a Manhattan apartment and began to casthis

energies in many directions. He worked as an extra at theMetropolitan Opera House in productions of Spartacus for theBolshoi

Ballet, Swan Lake for the Royal Ballet, and Don Giovanni, Toscaand others for the Met. He found work at a bookstore, then at a

newspaper. At the age of 18, a penniless, friendless, gayteenager, he attempted suicide by gas oven, but survived. Laterthat year,

he enlisted in the army. Disch's incompatibility with the armedforces quickly resulted in a nearly three-month commitment to a

mental hospital.

After his discharge, Disch returned to New York and continued topursue the arts in his own indirect way. He worked, again, in

bookstores, and as a copywriter. Some of these jobs paid offlater; working as a cloak room attendant in New York theaterculture

allowed him to both pursue his lifelong love of drama and led towork as a magazine theater critic. Eventually, he got another job

with an insurance company and went to school. A brief flirtationwith architecture led him to apply to Cooper Union, where he was

told he got the highest score ever on their entrance exam, butdropped out after a few weeks. He then went to night school at New

York University (NYU), where classes on novella writing andutopian fiction developed his tastes for some of the common formsand

Página 38


39/46


topics of science fiction. In May 1962, he decided to write ashort story instead of studying for his midterm exams. He sold the

story, "The Double Timer", for $112.50, to the magazine Fantastic.Having begun his literary career, he did not return to NYU but

rather took another series of odd jobs such as bank teller,mortuary assistant, and copy editor – all of which served to fuelwhat he

referred to as his night-time "writing habit". Over the next fewyears he wrote more science fiction stories, but also branched out

into poetry; his first published poem, "Echo and Narcissus",

appeared in the Minnesota Review's Summer 1964 issue.Disch entered the field of science fiction at a turning point, asthe pulp adventure stories of its older style began to be

challenged by a more serious, adult, and often darker style. Thismovement, called New Wave, tried to show that the ideas and themes

of science fiction could be developed beyond the simpleengineering-mechanical approach of traditional SF. Rather thantrying to

compete with mainstream writers on the New York literary scene,Disch plunged into the emerging genre of science fiction, andbegan

to work to liberate it from some of its strict formula and narrowconventions. His first novel, The Genocides, appeared in 1965;

Brian W. Aldiss singled it out for praise in a long review in SFImpulse. Much of his more literary science fiction was first

published in English author Michael Moorcock's New Wave magazine,New Worlds.

Disch was widely traveled and lived in England, Spain, Rome, andMexico. In spite of this, he remained a New Yorker for the last

twenty years of his life. He said that "a city like New York, tomy mind, is the whole world", keeping a long-time New Yorkresidence

overlooking Union Square.

Writing had become the dominant focus of his life. Disch describedhis personal transformation from dilettante to "someone who knows

what he wants to do and is so busy doing it that he doesn't havePágina 39


40/46

170 Ezine Excellere englishmuch time for anything else." After The Genocides, he wrote Camp

Concentration and 334. More books followed, including sciencefiction novels and stories, gothic works, criticism, plays, alibretto

for an opera of Frankenstein, prose and verse children's bookssuch as A Child's Garden Of Grammar, and ten poetry collections.In

the 1980s, he moved from science fiction to horror, with a seriesof books set in Minneapolis: The Businessman, The M.D., ThePriest,

and The Sub.

His writing included substantial freelance work, such as regular

book and theater reviews for The Nation, The Weekly Standard,Harper's, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New YorkTimes, the Times Literary Supplement, and Entertainment Weekly.

Recognition from his award-winning books led to a year as"artist-in-residence" at William and Mary College. During his longand

varied career, Disch found his way into other forms and genres. Asa fiction writer and a poet, Disch felt typecast by his science

fiction roots. "I have a class theory of literature. I come fromthe wrong neighborhood to sell to The New Yorker. No matter howgood

I am as an artist, they always can smell where I come from."

Though Disch was an admirer of and was friends with the authorPhilip K. Dick, Dick would write an infamous paranoid letter tothe

FBI in October 1972 that denounced Disch and suggested that therewere coded messages, prompted by a covert organization, in Disch's

novel Camp Concentration. Disch was unaware and he would go on tochampion the Philip K. Dick Award. In his final novel, however,The

Word Of God, Disch got his revenge on Dick, with a story in whichDick is dead and living in Hell, unable to write because of

writer's block. In return for a taste of human blood, which willunlock his ability to write, he makes a deal to go back in timeand

kill Disch's father, so that Disch will never be born, and at thesame time to kill Thomas Mann and thereby to insure that Hitler

wins World War II.

He maintained an apartment in New York City, sharing it and ahouse in Barryville, New York, with his partner of three decades,poetCharles Naylor. Disch's private life remained private, for themost part. He was publicly gay since 1968; this came outoccasionally

in his poetry and particularly in his 1979 novel On Wings Of Song.He did not try to write to a particular community: "I'm gay

myself, but I don't write 'gay' literature." He rarely mentionedhis sexuality in interviews, though he was interviewed by the

Canadian gay periodical The Body Politic in 1981. After Naylor'sdeath in 2005, Disch had to abandon the house, as well as fight

attempts to evict him from his rent controlled apartment, and hebecame steadily more depressed. He wrote on a LiveJournal account

from April 2006 until his death (he committed suicide by fatallywounding himself in the head via gunshot), in which he postedpoetry

and journal entries.

Disch was an outspoken atheist as well as a satirist; his lastnovel The Word Of God was published by Tachyon Publications in the

summer of 2008. His last published work, the posthumous storycollection The Wall Of America, contains material from last halfof

Disch's career.
