As a member of the Pulitzer Prize jury, the late Frank McConnell
helped science fiction gain standing as serious literature,
evolving his presentation of the field over the course of his
career. The 16 essays reveal that evolution as presented in papers
at the prestigious Eaton Conferences. At first emphasizing that
science fiction is primarily one of many forms of storytelling,
McConnell gradually recognized science fiction as a modern
expression of Gnosticism, rejecting bodily concerns for an
exclusive emphasis on spirituality. McConnell's essays cover such
topics as H.G. Wells, science fiction in academia, and the role of
genre in storytelling. A foreword by award-winning fantasy author
Neil Gaiman and tributes by noted writers such as Gregory Benford,
Harold Bloom, Howard V. Hendrix, and George Slusser are also
included.
