	Robert A. Heinlein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first novel that Heinlein wrote, For Us, The Living: A Comedy of Customs (1939), did not see print during his lifetime, but Robert James later tracked down the manuscript and it was published in 2003.
		Heinlein's books of the 1980s sold well, in spite of some critics' lack of enthusiasm; many readers believe that those who criticize them are missing their irony and self-conscious parodying of both science fiction and literature in general.
		Heinlein was divorced from his wife Leslyn in 1947, and in 1948 married his third wife, Virginia "Ginny" Gerstenfeld, who undoubtedly served as a model for many of his intelligent, fiercely independent female characters.

	Sampler: The Robert Heinlein Interview and Other Heinleiniana
		If Robert Heinlein hadn't written the books he wrote, and I hadn't read them, I doubt very much that I would have had the intellectual background necessary to climb out of the hole I was in between the ages of fifteen and eighteen.
		When I met Robert Heinlein in person in 1973, a few months after I interviewed him by telephone, he was at the height of his powers as one of the major writers of this century, and I was a writer just starting out.
		So in July of 1973, only a few short years since I figured he'd saved my life, I'd been looking for a way to phone up Robert Heinlein for quite a while, already.

	Roland F. McKenney: Robert Anson Heinlein
		Within the SF genre, Robert A. Heinlein (1907- 1988) was a strongly influential, and later controversial, author of many short stories and novels.
		Heinlein's later work was of a more philosophical nature (and clearly more self-indulgent), exploring themes of life, death, sexual mores andc; There was a clear sea change with the publishing of the then controversial Stranger in a Strange Land.
		Heinlein's early work earned him a well deserved reputation as one of the foremost practitioners of the field.

	Cabell Prize, 2000, Bill Patterson.
		Heinlein adores Woman, yearns after Her, and makes Her the centerpiece of his view of the human community, which degree of abstraction marks him a pre-modern thinker, as it is no longer fashionable to think of "woman" in the abstract.
		Heinlein was, even in this early stage of his writing career, an artist of considerable technical ability, and any native clay he found he made into his own figures of earth, that bear more family resemblance to Heinlein than to their original sources.
		Heinlein may or may not have been a formal initiate himself, but the figure of the Initiate and his Preceptor/Guide appear so commonly in his writing that his leading explicators to date, George Edgar Slusser and Leon Stover, have felt compelled to build their primary interpretations around this figure.
