	SFWA Honors William Tenn as Author Emeritus - SFWA News Site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tenn's sole full-length novel, Of Men and Monsters, serialized in Galaxy in 1963 and published in book form in 1968, deals with an alien-occupied Earth in which humans live, mouse-like, in the walls of the aliens' dwellings.
		Tenn has been known throughout his career for mordantly satirical work, yet his non-comedic work, too, is of the finest quill.
		Despite the high merits of his oeuvre, Tenn has never been honored with one of the field's major awards, and SFWA is gratified to recognize his work by naming him Author Emeritus.

	Excessive Candour
		William Tenn, a left-wing Jew in Cold War America, became, therefore, American SF's one master of Aesopian language.
		Tenn may have found an enabling engine in Aesop, a shape of telling that fired him into the fire of telling; but he was altogether too clear about what he was about.
		In 1955, William Tenn could write SF stories which were really Beast Fables that Aesop might have told, had he been Blind Willie McTell.

	William Tenn: Here Comes Civilization
		Tenn sets the tone for the entire collection with the very first story, "Bernie the Faust" and continues to produce humorous short stories until "A Lamp for Medusa." The remainder of the book is taken up by an essay on science fiction and the aforementioned novel.
		Tenn uses satire and comedy of situation to draw attention to important issues, for instance the problem of displaced persons which is featured in "There Were People on Bikini, There Were People on Attu." Other stories lack a cause, but are no less enjoyable.
		Tenn allows the reader to make up his or her own mind about the quality of each individual story, but in his afterwords he shows no sign of being easy on himself.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		Tenn's facility with time-travel paradoxes is on display in the next section, including such winners as "The Discovery of Morniel Mathaway," wherein a beatnik painter of small talent learns of improbable future fame.
		William Tenn remains—despite 30 years of subsequent work by other younger, talented writers—the supreme example of Swiftian satire updated for the 20th century and beyond.
		True, this volume stalls just a little bit with the section titled "For the Rent." Tenn explains that he was ill-suited temperamentally to his limited career as a grind-'em-out hack, and offers these conventional but still enjoyable romps as proof.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Immodest Proposals
		Tenn, whose real name is Philip Klass (and whose brother, the less well-known SF writer Morton Klass, recently died), is the son of a Jewish Marxist radical, and both components of that heritage show to good effect in his many audacious and hilarious fables and brief satiric future histories.
		Tenn had a great gift for the representation of the bizarrely alien, a technique in which his exemplar was apparently Henry Kuttner; few writers then and now could make the concept of super-intelligent flying bottles truly succeed.
		They are frustrated, manipulated, harried, and bamboozled by almost everything they encounter (Tenn's elaborate satirical inventions flow thick and fast throughout); they have an agonising imperative to return to the mundane Present; but one of their number will not co-operate, and time travel soon seems a dubious blessing.

	William Tenn: Dancing Naked (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tenn's stories are known for their wit, and his nonfiction is no different.
		Whereas Tenn chooses what to reveal about him in all his essays and the interviews, only in the interviews does he have someone pushing against him, trying to illicit stories and information which Tenn otherwise may not have thought to include.
		In these interviews, Tenn discusses his personal life as well as science fiction, much as he does throughout the rest of the book, although the various threads of separate essays are more fully integrated in the interviews.

		Tenn: First of all, I find that the best students in my science fiction courses are usually not English majors.
		Tenn: It has to do with a larger conversation we were having, and by the time it got to the bathroom, well--it's about something I've observed in writers, young people, too.

	The Mumpsimus
		So I grabbed Immodest Proposals, the first of two NESFA Press volumes of Tenn's collected fiction, a book I got for $5 somewhere because the binding is coming apart, and I read "The Liberation of Earth" for about the fifth time.
		William Tenn (whose actual name is Philip Klass, by the way) will be the Guest of Honor at WorldCon in a few weeks.
		The only story of Tenn's that is available online, alas, is "Bernie the Faust", a good little tale with an O. Henry twist, well balanced and well written, but not as biting or rich as some of my favorites.

		William Tenn (ne Philip Klass) himself contributes historically valuable afterwords, but the stories, most of them satirical, stand extremely well on their own.
		Because Tenn addressed his satire to the underlying conflicts, which are timeless, rather than to the transitory phenomena that tend to be the focus of most humorists, satirists, and social critics.
		Just as important, Tenn's satirical sword usually has two edges, and will, to mix a metaphor, have gored everybody's ox before he's finished with his tale.

		With numerous stories published for the first time since their initial appearance in magazines, the complete body of Tenn's only novel and an analytic essay, this second volume should receive as much praise as the first, Immodest Proposals.
		His is one of the finest bodies of short fiction in the field.
		Perhaps a newcomer should first try classics like "Bernie the Faust," "Betelgeuse Bridge," "Everybody Loves Irving Bommer," "She Only Goes Out at Night," and "Firgleflip." For readers accustomed to longer pieces, of which Tenn wrote very few, here at least are A Lamp for Medusa and Of Men and Monsters.
