Great Science-Fiction a critical list with discussions Musings"I couldn't seem to get through, myself, to the things that were bottled up inside me."--Portrait of Jennie, Robert Nathan ![]() Presented here are thoughts I think worth preserving, but which do not easily fit into any other particular place on the site. Some of them overlap the material presented in the Apologia, but are either expansions on or recastings of that material; others are, well, others. I hope you find at least some of these to be of at least some interest or utility. (The entries so far are few, but one has to start somewhere.)
