	The SF Site Featured Review: The Timeless Tales of Reginald Bretnor
		Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) was born in Vladivostok, Siberia.
		Reginald Bretnor is best known for the invention of the "Feghoot," extremely short stories which end with a pun, much like the old "Aesop & Son" sequence on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
		Bretnor has a strong sense of irony, as evidenced in "Cat," which could easily have become a version of Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," or in "The Murderer's Circle," where Bretnor attempts to explain one of the differences between the English and American way of looking at crime.

	Review Articles: Spring 1974
		The essays are original with this book and, although written to fill Bretnor's own table of contents, highly eclectic; generally, they may be said to congratulate SF as being science, prophecy, and mythology rolled into one, although several authors expressed doubts that SF was fulfilling its potential in all these areas.
		Bretnor and other hard science advocates in this collection consistently invoke C.P. Snow's "two cultures," finding that SF is significant chiefly because it single-handedly and heroically bridges the gap.
		All of these essayists hope to see SF evolve into even more powerful and imaginative forms, although they disagree as to whether this can be done by prophesying significant scientific futures, creating new worlds of fantasy, studying mainstream fiction for stylistic innovations, or providing deeper characterization (Anne McCaffrey, Gordon R. Dickson).

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Wizards of Odd
		The Pratchett may be funnier to someone who has grown up with the British (non-televised) comic tradition, but the Adams story is reminiscent of the less successful passages from his novels.
		In addition to the obvious choices for inclusion in this anthology (such as Fredric Brown, Reginald Bretnor and Avram Davidson) Haining has also included some authors who may not be known for their sense of humor.
		Some of these stories, like Reginald Bretnor's "The Gnurrs Come from the Voodvork Out," began the long series of humorous science fiction about Papa Schimmelhorn which, until Haining's book came out, had been sadly out of print.

	Review Articles: March 1977
		Reginald Bretnor is to be congratulated on his title: his book does attempt to define the craft, rather than the art.
		All the same, one's heart sinks, and has every right to sink, when we find an editor trotting forth jaundiced and incorrect judgments against every form of fiction which does not conform to what he personally enjoys.
		For instance, Poul Anderson, in the first chapter, "Star-flights and Fantasies," would probably be in agreement with Bretnor's basic position; yet he merely remarks that "the opinion is dominant [in academe] that a protagonist's principal activity should be introspection...

	Heinlein in Dimension, Chapter 8
		He begins by discussing the inadequacies of most definitions of science fiction, and accepting one by Reginald Bretnor,* which he summarizes:
		It seems to me that Bretnor's definition would let in not only Arrowsmith, as Davenport points out in his introduction, but Dr. Kildare, as well, and almost any novel about a laboratory or the new rash of stories written by people who have made a quick trip to Cape Kennedy.
		Fantasy stories, to Heinlein, are imaginary-but-not-possible, while science fiction is realistic and about the possible.
