	John Ower- "Aesop" and the Ambiguity of Clifford Simak's City
		Simak's abrupt shift from the cobbly to barely civilized terrestrial carnivores links the outworld predator with the "Blood hunger" that the dogs are striving to eliminate from earth.
		Simak is now implying that the greatest threat to the benevolent plans of the dogs comes from man, who combines the killer instinct of the predatory beast with a powerful, mechanically inventive intelligence.
		Rather, Simak appears to be synthesizing both views in the perception that it is the savage hatred and anger within Peter which fuels the inspirational courage necessary to overcome his enemy.

	Amazon.ca: Way Station: Books: Clifford D Simak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Clifford Simak was raised in Wisconsin, and his science fiction combines galactic scope with nostalgia for the old American Midwest.
		Clifford Simak, winner of Hugo, Nebula, Grand Master, and other science fiction awards, was never more clearly a master of modern SF than in this novel of a simple farmer who bridged the gap between humanity and the stars.
		Simak does none of that-- I find it a virtue of his that while he acknowledges that shadings exist (particularly when it comes to evil, which he usually portrays as misguided bumbling) he at the same time asserts that there is good in the world and that the good can be found.

	Clifford D. Simak
		It ought to be stressed that many years before the appearance of Everett's thesis, Clifford Simak had thoroughly described parallel worlds (esp. alternate Earths) in his science-fiction works using almost identical philosophy in a poetic atmosphere and flavor of rural humility and beautiful autumn weather.
		Simak was born and raised in Millville (small town in Wisconsin) and became probably the best known proponent of the pastoral science fiction.
		Clifford Simak began his career with the first published story The World of the Red Sun (it appeared originally in Wonder Stories 1931 and reissued thanks to Isaac Asimov in Before the Golden Age, Doubleday 1974).

	The Templeton Gate - Authors - Clifford D. Simak
		Simak displays an unwavering faith in humanity, and coupled with the pastoral views of the land around the house and the simple beauty of the untamed wilderness, produces a novel of quiet strengths and boundless optimism.
		Simak's next novel, Out of Their Minds (1970) would also prove to be primarily comical, with the main character's discovery that all things are possible, with mythical and fictional figures coming to life at the merest thought of their existence.
		It is highly possible that Clifford Simak is a relatively unknown name to the majority of recent SF readers, and that of course would be a shame if it is true.

	Desertion by Clifford D. Simak
		Clifford D. Simak was one of the finest modern sf writers.
		Beginning his career with slam-bang intergalactic adventures in the 1930s, he became one of the most polished, sophisticated, and humane of the writers of Campbell's Golden Age in the 1940s.
		Simak invented a new mode of transcendence for the human mind and spirit in this story that, once experienced, is so nearly impossible to reject that humanity cannot.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #5: Clifford Simak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Clifford Simak's science fiction career spanned close to half a century, with his best-known work appearing in the forties, fifties, and sixties.
		Simak is as likely as any of his contemporaries to have bug-eyed monsters land on Earth, but his BEMs would probably land in rural Minnesota, and end up discussing their difficulties with some locals over a large stack of pancakes.
		Many of Simak's books are closer to the fantasy side of the fence, including The Goblin Reservation (), which is about what the title implies, and Out of Their Minds (), an amusing novel in which our myths and fairy tales take objective reality.

	Clifford Simak Fan Page: Writings
		Classic early Simak, my 1967 Paperback Library, Inc. (New York) edition says it was based on a short novel originally published in 1939 by Street and Smith Publications, Inc. A woman has spent a thousand years in suspended animation, however her brain remained awake.
		I felt this was one of Clifford's weaker efforts, since most of the narrative (press and political response) seemed to be removed from the actual action (aliens have landed!).
		Simak's last published novel before his death in 1988, it is also one of his best.

	Science Fiction and Fantasy Reading Experience: Clifford D. Simak "So Bright The Vision" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Simak's stories will glow in your mind like a warm sunset at the end of a stressful day, will make you want to greet your neighbour with a smile and a friendly pat on the back.
		With such a subversive, sublime approach Simak seems close to Philip K. Dick's style (whose mental plot structures are far more vicious than the mere "sense-of-wonder" vehicles of Simak's) You never know what may jump at you from a perfectly normal cup of coffee.
		Simak could not leave this important theme out of science fiction treatment, and wrote this curious piece about an alien postal stamp alive and kicking in the most amazing directions and ways...

		Most people have never heard of Clifford Simak unless they're longtime SF fans and even those that have tend to gravitate more toward his other classic "City" but those who do, or even those who makes the mistake of ignoring him completely are making a grave error.
		More importantly, Simak's yarn about a man of war yearning for peace during turbulent times is so very appropriate today as it was at the height of the Cold War and the beginning of US involvement in Vietnam.
		Clifford D. Simak's "Way Station" was first published under the title "Here Gather the Stars" in Galaxy Magazine in two parts in June and August of 1963.

	Review: Way Station by Clifford D. Simak
		I've had a few disappointing experiences with old classics of science fiction, I'd not read a book by Clifford Simak before, and I wasn't sure that the premise was going to hold together.
		Simak's story-telling is engrossing and fascinating; he captures a sense of wonder about the alien civilizations of the galaxy tinged with a sense of alienation from humanity that is remarkably effective.
		Simak knows how to put the reader inside the head of a character and does so exceptionally well.

	biographie de clifford donald simak
		Simak déclare lui-même qu'il se sentait, bien qu'enfant du 20 eme siècle, plus proche des pionniers du 19eme.
		En tant que journaliste, Simak a déjà une écriture affirmée et qui n'est pas trop éloignée des standards (oukases?) de Campbell; si on peut dire que Simak fait partie de "l'écurie Astounding", on ne peut pas prétendre qu'il soit un produit Campbell.
		Clifford Simak abordera aussi de façon soutenue la Fantasy, plusieurs ouvrages dont "la réserve des lutins" 1968, "le pèlerinage enchanté" 1975 ou "au pays du mal" 1982 dépendant clairement de ce genre.

		Simak's story of a man (the odd and fascinating Enoch) from the 19th century taken on by 'Galactic Centre' to run a secret stopping-off point for travellers moving from solar system to solar system is a moving, intelligent, and brilliantly imagined classic.
		Occasionally the style of the prose feels dated and the 'philosophy' becomes sentimental, but once those brief occasions are accounted for what becomes clear is that 'Way Station' is a novel packed with ideas (both SF and more broadly philosophical) and with a desire to tell a wild and original story.
		This is typical Simak at his best - sci-fi in your backyard - in this case literally.

	Clifford Simak's books
		Clifford Simak is most often described as the "pastoralist" of science fiction, and it's an interesting label.
		I'm not quite sure what it means, but I read Simak for a particular feeling.
		I mean, great stories, fascinating ideas, and always a light, humorous touch - Simak was a newspaperman (the dated word for a journalist suits him; he died in 1988), and his stories are always very readable.

		Clifford Simak was born and raised in south-western Wisconsin and throughout his career he has been careful to allow his rural background to permeate his writings in science-fiction: a trait that is, to my knowledge, singular to Simak within the genre of hard-sf.
		This book with its wonderfully ambiguous title (can you pick out more than two alternative interpretations?) is not considered to be his best work (most critics pick "Way Station" as the quintessential Simak book), but I highly recommend this book.
