This dovetails nicely with other books about the 'golden age of ' - Fred Pohl's memoir, Heinlein's bio, Asimov's autobiography, etc.Knight offers personal recollections as well as interviews with other Futurians.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Damon Knight's The FuturiansBy John and Lissa AdkinsThis is the fascinating story of the Futurians by a participant. Knight interviews his old friends and weaves his own memories with theirs into a mostly coherent whole. The only caveat, and one that does not impact the readers enjoyment, is that at times it can be hard to keep track of who Knight is quoting at any given time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Janine SylviaGreat!

With fifty illustrations, many never before published. The Futurian Society was founded in 1938 by thirteen science fiction fans; it never numbered more than twenty, including wives, girl friends and hangers-on; yet out of this small group came seven of the most famous names in science fiction: , , Damon Knight, Cyril Kornbluth, , and Donald A. Wollheim. Brilliant, eccentric and poor, the Futurians invented their own subculture, with its communal dwellings, its folklore, songs and games, even its own mock religion. In later years many of them became influential novelists, editors, anthologists, literary agents and publishers. A Futurian himself, Knight interviewed ten of the surviving Futurians and traced down the widow of one member whose tragic fate was previously unknown. Drawing on correspondence, unpublished manuscripts, and amateur publications (including a collection of Futurian wall newspapers which had wound up in Australia), he has written a fascinating narrative of the early days of the Futurians, the feuds and lawsuits that divided them, and their later careers. "The demon imp of science fiction gossip is back stoking his furnace... Oh, Damon, you have done it again." — "The Futurians is an absorbing read... I don't think the world is ever ready for its Futurians: rebellious, romantic, and largely reprehensible. Gifted. Real." — "The book has the charm and candor of Boswell's Journals, at times rising to a crescendo of pure communication." —Keith Laumer "I sneaked a look at the beginning of The Futurians, was immediately hooked, and did not stop until I had finished the book." —L. Sprague de Camp "It will be a must for anybody interested in the history and the nature of science fiction." — [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight PDF [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight Epub [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight Ebook [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight Rar [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight Zip [vezh7.ebook] The Futurians By Damon Knight Read Online
