Lourie, Richard

Entry updated 4 November 2024. Tagged: Author.

(1940-    ) US historian, translator and author whose Near Future sf novel, Zero Gravity (1987), spoofs the Cold War (already beginning to fade in 1987) as two poets are sent to the Moon on conflicting cultural missions, but they kick their heels up and defect. The Autobiography of Joseph Stalin (1999), though nonfantastic, conveys in fictional language the inner life of the dictator with surreal intensity. [JC]
