Synopsis

1984, hardcover edition, Del Rey Books, NY. Hardcover title, 260 pages; large, readable type. Collection of essays by a learned man indeed. Clarke had a background in physics and mathematics and would be famous for the fact that he invented the communication satellite in 1945. He also wrote all types of books, many of them fantasy titles which won awards. His non-fiction is equally interesting. Here the learned man (with an excellent sense of humor) discusses space travel, literary figures, writing, literary agents, Srilanka (where he lived for years), tourism, and much more. An interesting, thoughtful man.
