Mirror for Observers

Winner of the 1954 Intenational Fantasy Award, which was won in 1957 by The Lord of The Rings. Pangborn also won in 2003 the Cordwainder smith Rediscovery Award.""From the 21st century, we look back at the 20th, and we find Edgar Pangborn, who was always there, with his sad, serene, contemplative gaze. But his was not a vision that ever really properly belonged to the SF of 1950, and he maybe never got his full due back then. Today, maybe, the time has come to read him with proper joy." - - John Clute"Edgar Pangborn was one of the greatest American science fiction writers, who established along with Bradbury, Sturgeon, Miller, and Cordwainer Smith a poetic, beautifully human style of science fiction. Pangborn's evocative landscapes and intense emotional situations combine to give all his novels a mysterious and powerful beauty. He was a true artist and bringing his work back into print in this way is a great moment for American literature." ?Kim Stanley RobinsonPangborn, Edgar is the author of 'Mirror for Observers', published 2004 under ISBN 9781882968299 and ISBN 1882968298.
