Following My Nose - Alexei Panshin

Following my Nose is Hugo and Nebula author and critic Alexei Panshin’s very personal journey into literary analysis and his own reflections. Panshin discusses his own journey as well as works that influenced his own writing and on science fiction in general. Authors like A.E. van Vogt, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Caroll) and others have shaped both the genre as well as Panshin’s own art. This work also discusses a broader critique of the genre and its impact on literature and culture, drawing heavily from his outstanding, Hugo-winning book, The World Beyond the Hill. Beautifully written as only Alexei Panshin can, the book perfectly melds his own personal journey, a unique perspective on science fiction and the power of the genre to influence our culture.
