Our reviews of John Clute's work
Appleseed
by John Clute
John Clute's 2001 space opera novel. The SF Encyclopedia editor finally writing his own novel. Dense, formally daring, genuinely strange.
The Book of End Times
by John Clute
A John Clute essay collection on the millennial moment in genre fiction. The encyclopedia editor in long-form critical mode. Difficult and rewarding.
The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
by John Clute
John Clute and John Grant's 1997 reference work. The canonical fantasy encyclopedia. Still the right starting point for serious genre study.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
by John Clute
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction by John Clute review. The canonical SF reference work edited by Clute, Peter Nicholls, and David Langford. The right starting point for serious genre study.
