I usually think of Kutnner as an SF author, but looking back on some of his most notable stories (The Elak stories, "Mimsy Were the Borogoves," "Housing Problem") he was a great fantasist.

The science fiction he wrote with Moore in the 1940s is more polished.<br /><br />Still, I'll take these stories over much of what's been written by others. They're fun and the eldritch elements, as you say, are a positive. And Kuttner was always trying to stretch himself as a writer, something you can see in these stories.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-17602272826360224872014-11-02T13:45:34.971-06:002014-11-02T13:45:34.971-06:00huh, will have to add this one to the list...i jus...huh, will have to add this one to the list...i just hit the used bookstore yesterday and picked up some fun reading til my next grad class in december....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
