“Exquisite in both story and sentence, the Anne books built me as a reader, which is to say: they built me.”Sarah Mesle on "Anne of Green Gables"
Los Angeles Review of Books
A.E. van Vogt
04.26.1912 - 01.26.2000A.E. van Vogt was one of the leading figures of Golden Age SF during the 1940s. His strange, visionary tales — gathered in The Voyage of the Space Beagle (1950) and many other books — mixed equal measures of hyper-rationalism and emotional wish-fulfillment. Dynamic dreamer.
“You have to remember that I was a bright but simple fellow from Canada who seldom, if ever, met another writer, and then only a so-called literary type that occasionally sold a story and meanwhile worked in an office for a living.”
— A.E. van Vogt
