Martians and Misplaced Clues: The Life and Work of Fredric Brown

Rating:
Summary: Nicely written summary of Brown's life, and work
Review: Jack Seabrook has turned a mountain of research into a compact and readable book. Fredric Brown was a complex individual, and Seabrook paints an accurate (often painfully so) picture of the man. Seabrook's book also includes a list of Brown's pulp fiction and novels for the collector, has thoughtful analyses of Brown's work for the critic, and has humor and insight for the curious. An excellent job and well worth the price of admission.
