Barsoom

(1976)
A non fiction book by

 
 
To many, Richard Lupoff included, Barsoom was Edgar Rice Burroughs' greatest creation, and yet, strangely, it has been almost ignored in serious examinations of fantastic literature. Lupoff, a science fiction writer himself, has been a Burroughs fan since he could read; later he became--and continues to be--the world's most respected authority on ERB. It is only natural, then, that this first in-depth examination of Burroughs' Mars should be by Mr. Lupoff. As a science fiction writer, Mr. Lupoff is well aware that the SF writer's greatest challenge is the ability to be an absolute god--to create entire worlds, new forms of life, new cultures unrestricted and unlimited by earthly laws or taboos. This book examines that world as Burroughs gave it to us, in a way that will please the most demanding scholars and critics, yet uniquely personal and consistently entertaining.
