Joe Haldeman: The Hemingway of Science Fiction

Joe Haldeman is a multiple Hugo and Nebula winner and nominee who has been a major player in Science Fiction since he first burst onto the scene with his brilliant "The Forever War". A superb story teller with a muscular, minimalist style and a gift for delineating realistic characters under pressure, he is the Hemingway figure of American Science Fiction. An academic as well as a writer, Haldeman combines his knowledge and his skill in the wonderful " The Hemingway Hoax", which offers a remarkably original answer to the question of what happened to that suitcase of manuscripts Hemingway lost on the Paris train in the 1920s. If you haven't read him, start. You won't regret it.
