If you love mystery and science fantasy in their classic form, you'll be probably familiar with the figure of novelist-editor-critic and short story writer Tony Boucher, who co-founded "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction", edited it for several years and impressed the mystery field with his excellent reviews for, among others, the New York "Times". Boucher, whose real name was Anthony Parker White, had an excellent taste for surprise endings, stories with a twist and narrative subtlety. This is his first biography and is an excellent way to introduce yourself to the world of crime and fantasy at their most sophisticated. Several bibliographic appendages allow you to better know not only Boucher himself and his many accomplishments as a writer, but also gather all the information you need to build up an excellent library of the fantastic and the criminally relevant based on his catholic tastes. If his novels are a challenge to any murder mystery enthusiast, his anthologies are among the best in the crime and sf genres. And his short stories will be remembered among the wittiest, most intelligent in many fields. Yes, this book is a much needed literary source!
