Many prominent science fiction writers, artists, and editors began
as s.f. "fans." This is the first book to survey fandom's history,
manifestations, and accomplishments, including clubs, fanzines, and
conventions. The 24 essays are divided into sections that consider
the following: the types of people who become fans and the
satisfactions they receive; the development of fandom in America;
fandom in Europe and the Orient; social interactions in the form of
local clubs or wider-drawing conventions; and long-term results in
the form of beginning professional careers in writing or
publishing, exercising critical attention, and so forth. The
writers of these essays have all participated in the activities
they describe. The book also contains a glossary, an annotated
bibliography, and an index. Overall, this book gives a detailed
look at the most important facets of a fascinating subculture that
has contributed significantly to the direction of modern science
fiction.
