Autorentext

The late Bill Warren ("sci- completist extraordinaire"-Joe Dante) wrote and contributed to many books and articles and for ten years was the Hollywood correspondent for a French television series. He was long active in the Los Angeles Science Fiction/Fantasy Society. Film Quarterly (40:4) gave "thanks to Warren's extraordinary ability to tap and release, in the reader's memory, intense...memory-impressions. He knows exactly which scenes to describe, in order to yank us, Proust-like, into the past." ****Research associate Bill Thomas is a lead reference librarian and lives in Lancaster, California.
