"All my past is accepted." Science fiction's most eloquent creator of visions of tomorrow, Brian Aldiss, spins out his most fascinating story yet: his own. Born in 1925, Aldiss is representative of the unique generation that reached adolescence in the era of World War II. Growing up in the rural hells of Norfolk and Devon, the son of a department store owner, he was formed and altered by wartime, serving three years in Burma and Asia with the Forgotten Army. Intrigued by science fiction and the near-apocalyptic imagery of the London Blitz, Aldiss became intoxicated by the beautiful lands, tropical climate, and horrific brutality he discovered in Burma and Sumatra, an "enchanted zone" that later provided the catalyst for much of his work. Poignantly and passionately, Aldiss recalls the camaraderie of the army and the sobriety of postwar England; bookselling in Oxford; marital breakdown and financial impoverishment; life as a struggling novelist and literary editor; his seminal role in the science fiction's New Wave in the 1960s; and his friendships with Kingsley Amis, J.G. Ballard, Doris Lessing, and Michael Moorcock, among others. Versatile, prolific, and outspoken, Aldiss writes revealingly on many issues and experiences, from literary inspiration to childhood illness, from mental breakdown to the critical attitudes toward science fiction. For most of his life, Brian Aldiss has concerned himself with re-creating our present. In this moving, candid, and compelling autobiography, he reflects on a future that, in the twinkling of an eye, has become the past. , Hardcover, Ausgabe: First Edition, Label: St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1999-04-14, Studio: St. Martin's Press, Verkaufsrang: 2641876.

As new book. Aldiss's account of his Norfolk childhood, his schooldays - he was exceptionally lucky in having an affair with a promiscuous young matron - and his three years as a soldier in Burma and further east, is conistently readable. There is no shortage of revealing stuff about the literary life on all levels but essentially, amd msot rewardingly, this is a story about family life.
