Following my nose is a Hugo and Nebulaauthor and critic Alexei Panshin’s very personal journey into literary analysisand his own reflections. Panshin discusses his own journey as wellas works that influenced his own writing and on science fiction in general.Authors like A.E. van Vogt, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Caroll) and others haveshaped both the genre as well as Panshin’s own art. This work also discusses a broader critiqueof the genre and its impact on literature and culture, drawing heavily from hisoutstanding, Hugo-winning book, The World Beyond the Hill. Beautifully written as only Alexei Panshincan, the book perfectly melds his own personal journey, a unique perspective onscience fiction and the power of the genre to influence our culture.
"An unbelievably wonderful book"-Isaac Asimov*****The World Beyond the Hill is a unique book-a story about stories. It tells not only where science fiction came from and how it got that way, but what science fiction means. *** Science fiction has been the myth of modern times. The World Beyond the Hill is the tale of that myth from Frankenstein to Galactic Empire. *** By setting forth this evolving story, The World Beyond the Hill sheds light not only on what modern culture has been thinking and doing, but where we are going next and what we need to become. *** The World Beyond the Hill won a non-fiction Hugo Award in competition with books by Arthur C. Clarke, Harlan Ellison, Ursula LeGuin and Robert Heinlein
