John Varley
John Varley is one of my favorite SF authors. Unfortunately, he is also one of the least prolific, at least after a good burst of stories and a novel in the 70's (all set in his Eight Worlds universe). Things are looking up. First we had Red Thunder earlier in the year. Now he's got a website. Maybe next he'll bring us Irontown Blues, the last of the Metal Trilogy.
Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"
