Reprint from Lan’s Lantern #33 (May 1990)
I wanted to republish an article I wrote for George “Lan” Laskowski’s fanzine, Lan’s Lantern so I could cite it for my Rereading Heinlein Project. This essay is the approach I took to Heinlein after he died in 1988. At that time I assumed I couldn’t know what Heinlein intended in his stories. That I just saw myself in their reflection. This time around, I’m going to assume Heinlein had information to convey and whether or not I can decode it.
I hope you can read the text in these images. If you can’t, you can get a copy of Lan’s Lantern #33 at Archive.org or Fanac.org.

I have the same request. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to remember the author or title of a science fiction story I read many years ago and have searched on-line to no avail. If you would be willing to help, please contact me at the email address below. Thanks a lot.

…Unless you guys can describe the stor(ies), NO ONE can tell you about either the author, or the title…If it’s a Heinlein story, which are nearly countless, google for a list, or Wiki may have it…

Mr Harris – I was intrigued by your site “Auxiliary to Remember” . I am also a retired Professor of Genetics and Biology, and was reading Science Fiction in the 1970’s in High school. Again, way before the time of computers- memory cells do Fade!
I am trying to get back to a book that I read. I know exactly what it what about, but clearly, I can not remember the title or Author, meaning it is likely not a huge scientific classic. At that time, my mother had returned to college, was pursuing an English literature degree, and she gave me the book.
Anyway, I did not know if you help individuals search for science fiction books – is this part of your website,
Thank you for your time. Please reply below:
