Heinlein biographer tells all

[Mitch Wagner]

Robert A. Heinlein, author of "Stranger in a Strange Land" and more
than 60 other books, was the greatest science fiction writer of the
20th Century, with an influence that went far beyond genre boundaries,
according to William H. Patterson Jr., author of the new Heinlein
biography.

I interviewed Patterson for Copper Robot, and asked why Heinlein was
important enough to rate a fat biography, 22 years after his death.
“It's not because he was a science fiction writer,” Patterson said.
“He was an influential public figure in a lot of ways that people
inside the science fiction community let drift out of consciousness.”
