Description Toward Books Grumbles from the Grave

Long before his death in 1988, Robert A. Heinlein had expressed the desire to have a selection of his letters published, after he was gone, and entitled 'Grumbles from the Grave'. But increasing pressure from his work and a series of major illnesses made it impossible for him to undertake the job of editing this himself. Now his wife, Virginia Heinlein, has taken on the labor of fulfilling his wish. Jacket design by Darrin Ehardt.

A man wearing a plaid sports jacket and mismatched polyester, elastic waist slacks walks out onto the stage. He looks smug and self confident, from his 70s era mustache to his back brace to his white patent leather casual dress shoes. His is the self-assurance of the gaudy male seed bearer. He knows his lusty effect on women.He looks a great deal like a young Dan Akroyd.Good evening, folks. Ill be presenting the review for Robert A.

This book contains correspondence between Heinlein and his literary agent, mostly, plus a few assorted letters to and from other people. Also has photographs of Heinlein during several periods of his life, along with his wife, Ginny, and the tribe of cats they kept.It provides valuable insight into RAH's way of thinking, his life in general, and the things that troubled and worried him. I can sympathize with one of his recurring concerns, that the USA is in a tailspin due to the increasing

Published a year and a half after his death, this work is the closest thing to an autobiography this writer ever penned. Edited by his widow, it includes an interesting examination of the long gestation period of Stranger in a Strange Land, as well as letters and other short writings. Frederick Pohl complained that he felt a broad swath of whitewash had been overlaid on this work (presumably by his wife), since 'what's left is actually rather boring and does a great disservice to the real

Did not find this book to hold much interest. There are a few good pointers here and there but basically the book was skimmed after getting a 1/4 of the way through. It is very impersonal, especially after reading Steinbeck A Life In Letters and Anne Sexton A Self-Portrait in Letters which were both 5 star books from this point of view. I would have liked to get to know Heinlein but it just was not the case through his letters.

A fascinating look into the mind of the author of some of my favourite stories.

wonderful insight to Heinleins life. good fun read. contains spoilers of his works.
