Fiction Style: Today, it seems there has been a change in science fiction style. The hard plausibility of the Campbell era has been overtaken by events and seems outmoded. Instead, such science fiction writers as Robert Silverberg, Roger Zelazny, Samuel Delany, and Brian Aldiss are taking advantage of the new directions in literature generally. Style counts more than scientific content, and the values and aura of a new and strange world environment are expressed evocatively and emotionally at the expense of realism.Here we can see that Ray Bradbury—an extremely popular science fiction writer of the 1950s—was pointing the way. The imagination and poetic style of his tales have always outweighed by far whatever scientific content they might have had. At the moment the most important science fiction being written is more adult and closer to the "mainstream" of contemporary literature than ever before.
After World War II, science fiction experienced a boom and the number of magazines devoted to it multiplied rapidly. Two outstanding additions were Galaxy and Fantasy and Science Fiction. The nations of Europe were beginning to translate American science fiction, and even the Soviet Union—which, in the immediate aftermath of the war, denounced American science fiction—developed a flourishing native output. |
