REVIEW Books: The Stars Our Destination Heinlein was the best sci-fi writer of all time -- and then mysteriously he became the worst By Lee Sandlin
2014
Overview
Heinlein (1907-88) was a poor kid from Kansas City, an Annapolis graduate and a career naval officer invalided out with tuberculosis at the height of the Great Depression. Around this odd fluke, Patterson wove a lot of unusual material about the peacetime Navy, 1930s socialist politics (the future writer worked for Upton Sinclair's \"End Poverty in California\" campaign), Heinlein's chaotic attempt at an open marriage and the strange subculture of the old sci-fi pulp magazines.
