Willett, John

Entry updated 23 September 2024. Tagged: Author.

(1932-2001) US author, editor and art critic (for the San Diego Metropolitan 1996-1999), who began to publish genre fiction with the children's fantasy novella The Singer in the Stone (1981 chap), in which a Sleeper Awakes and a future world is changed. Willett is of direct sf interest for Aubade for Gamelon (1984), a somewhat ponderous treatment of the trope of superhuman Mutants who have emerged in the wake of nuclear testing as humanity's salvation or nemesis; Immortality may be possible. The genre of the author's third, unpublished novel «Bachman's Warbler» is not known.

Willett should not be confused with the UK critic and translator John Willett (1917-2002). [DRL]
