| | The Science of Science Fiction Writing by James E Gunn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Himself a prolific genre author (The Immortals, not reviewed, etc.), as well as an academic (English/Univ. of Kansas) and literary critic (The Road to Science Fiction, not reviewed), Gunn remains at the forefront of the movement to legitimize scholarly study of science fiction. |
 | | The first third of his text, drawing on Gunn's years of experience teaching writing workshops, conveys his influential precepts in 11 short, useful chapters. |
 | | Nevertheless, since Gunn's excellent prose never fails to engage, inform, and instruct, readers outside the target audience who happen to encounter the book will be pleasantly surprised. |
