Last, but certainly not least in the Alphabet by Author, is George Zebrowski. Born Jerzy (pronounced Yerzhee) Tadeus Zebrowski in Austria of Polish descent which for some reason explains the Polish name in 1945. He’s been published since about 1972 and has a respectable body of work to his name. Some of this includes some of the Star Wars books, while this doesn’t mean he writes in English he actually does as he’s in America and not Austria or Poland.

This We Are Not Alone keynote address by him published by the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction is interesting. Pity I’m running late and can’t read it all but it’s from 2006 and seems to be about royalties and contracts. I will put the link on the I Like Books Facebook page so I can remember to read it all later.

He’s written a couple of non-fiction books and this one looks very interesting. Beneath the Red Star: Studies on International Science Fiction (1996) not that I can actually find it in print as a new book yet but I’ll keep an eye out for it. One of his anthologies is available at Booktopia, Swift Thoughts and looks fun. What also looks good is another anthology by him with his partner, Pamela Sergeant and Jack Dann, Dream of Venus and Other Science Fiction Stories / Decimated.

I found a well written article on Zebrowski on SF Gateway. The writer say this about Zebrowski:

His best known novel is Macrolife (Harper & Row, 1979), which Arthur C. Clarke described as ‘a worthy successor to Olaf Stapledon’s Star Maker.  It’s been years since I was so impressed.  One of the few books I intend to read again.’

I figure if Arthur C. Clarke says Zebrowski is good then I’ll have to check him out again.

You can buy Macrolife on Angus & Robertson in paperback form or ebook.
