AUTHOR

Algis Budrys

SUMMARY

Over the years since 1965, Algis Budrys has emerged as the leading critic of mod­ern speculative fiction: insightful, ec­lectic, and notoriously uninhibited.Benchmarkscollects the material that started itall 54 Galaxy Bookshelf book-review columns Budrys created for the now-vanishedGalaxy Magazine.Writ­ten for what was then the world's leading SF periodical, these legendary summa­tions and summary judgments coincided with the period when newsstand-borne science fiction and fantasy were evolving from pulp toward literature. Budrys'Galaxyreviews trace an incisive, some­times wickedly acerb path through that sparsely charted literary territory. Budrys defines his standards and his function in his own words: "A book should he good. A bird should fly. "Writers of imperfect, tousled books should be made aware that standards of breeding and grooming exist. I strive to fulfill that function."Algis Budrys is the author of 'Benchmarks: Galaxy Bookshelf', published 1985 under ISBN 9780809311873 and ISBN 0809311879.
