![]() However, on July 16, 1969, about a month after he began outlining the story, the historic landing of Apollo 11 gave Heinlein a significant enough reason to interrupt his writing process, not once but twice. ![]() Written in 1969, the novel was serialized in four parts in Galaxy magazine between July and December 1970, appearing in book form after the third part was released. Typically, when Heinlein went into writing mode, he would decline speaking engagements and other public appearances, preferring to sequester himself so he could focus on his story. ![]() In general, people seem to choose one of two ways to handle Robert Heinlein’s I Will Fear No Evil: detest it in all its casually (and sometimes not so casually) misogynistic odiousness, or love it like an uncouth grandfather who “grew up in a different time.” As is often a case, I don’t think either extreme is quite right. The novel has many problems which should not be overlooked nor should those problems overshadow the interesting and insightful questions that it presents.

Don't go by the beautiful cover, it is highly misleading. ![]() Why else would this book have an average rating below 3.5? ![]() There's a deliberateness in the way most fiction authored by women is either labelled 'chick lit' and dismissed right away without a second thought or made light of under various other excuses. Sometimes I get this nagging suspicion that there's a greater conspiracy at work to make women writers all over the world feel unloved and unappreciated. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jonah had some magic quality about him that let me feel like myself.
