Staff Picks: The Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein by Farah Mendlesohn
It’s Locus’s 2019 Holiday Countdown of Staff Picks!
For our non-fiction selection: “The Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein by Farah Mendlesohn, is the kind of book that a writer of his stature deserves – an academic but readable overview from a modern perspective, covering his full career, and written by a scholar of wide interests and learning whose ideas have been shaped by something more than reading Heinlein himself.”
You can read Alec Nevala-Lee’s review of it online or in the March 2019 issue of Locus.
