by Mortimer Weisinger
Donald Wandrei, who frankly considers his stories "just so much junk"
from an artistic viewpoint.
Nathan Schachner, who admits that he is a slow writer at best, one
thousand words each night being his maximum output.
David Lasser, who profoundly apologized to the old Scienceers one night
for concealing the fact that Gawain Edwards was only a pen name.
A perfunctory search through that register of eminent Americans, "Who's
Who," reveals the following science fiction celebrities as listed:
Edgar Rice Burroughs, J. U. Guiesy, Stanton A. Coblentz, George Allan
England, Dr. T. O'Conor Sloane, Hugo Gernsback, Edwin Balmer, William
MacHarg, T. S. Stribling, J. S. Haldane, A. Hyatt Verrill, Fred
MacIsaac, Ellis Parker Butler, Eric Temple Bell.
What other fiction field can boast as many distinguished contributors?
