Customer Reviews

A fascinating collection of criticism.

Written in the form of separate essays, Damon Knight's Hugo Award-winning In Search of Wonder is a revealing look into the author's mind and into the state of science fiction and literature as a whole. The book deserves five stars for its historical value, its superb commentary, and its ability to hold up nigh fifty years later under close scrutiny of professionals. Highly recommended.
