One of the major figures in science fiction for over sixty years,
James Gunn has been instrumental in the development of science
fiction teaching and in making science fiction one of the most
vibrant and engaging areas of scholarly study. His genre history
Alternate Worlds and his monumental The Road to Science Fiction
anthologies introduced countless readers to the genre. While a
professor of English at the University of Kansas, Gunn founded the
Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction in 1982. But Gunn has
also been one of the genre's leading writers, whose classic novels
Star Bridge (with Jack Williamson), The Joy Makers, The Immortals,
and The Listeners, helped shape the field. Now in his nineties,
Gunn remains a major voice in science fiction. His latest novel,
Transformation (the conclusion of the Transcendental trilogy), will
be published in 2017. Michael Page's study is the first to examine
the life, career, and writing of this science fiction grandmaster.
Drawing on materials from Gunn's archives and from personal
interviews with Gunn and providing detailed analysis and commentary
on Gunn's fiction, in The Science Fiction, Scholarship, and
Teaching of James Gunn Page provides a much-needed exploration of
one of science fiction's important figures.
