Description

The authors believe transitional science fiction writer and critic Brian Aldiss represents the evolutionary leap from the older pulp/adventure science fiction to the post new wave genre.

They compare his work to that of the early mainstream literary modernists.

While science fiction revives the modernist spirit and possesses its ranges, the authors maintain only Aldiss has taken advantage of that potential.

His works embody both the potential and contradictions in new wave science fiction.

Griffin and Wingrove emphasize the remarkable continuity of Aldiss's work.

Neither rebel against the science fiction tradition nor transgressor of literary values, Aldiss is, for the authors, a model of literary survival.
