In my elementary years I developed a general dislike for all fiction, preferring nonfiction, then for a Christmas present (against my expressed wishes by the way) my mother got me a subscription to Galaxy to which I added my own purchase a year later of If. These were the 60s and I was amazed at the quality of writing—and writers—which Pohl brought out for me as editor of both magazines. Later I also joint the SF Book Club and caught many of Pohl's novels and stories from collections. So I credit him with turning me around and bringing me a lot of thought provoking pleasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
