(1929-2008) US academic, poet and author, most of his work being technically nonfantastic, though a career-long pattern of subjecting various genres (like the historical novel) to metafictional stresses sometimes hinted at a sustaining undertow of meaning compatible with Fantastika. The Magic Striptease (coll 1973) contains work of more explicit interest, though sf readings are problematical. He is of some sf interest for his collaboration with R H W Dillard and John Rodenbeck on the script for the film Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965; vt Mars Invades Puerto Rico; vt Duel of the Space Monsters) directed by Robert Gaffney (see Frankenstein).
