Summary: A Wonderful Tribute to a Great Writer
Comment: Heinlein has been my favorite author for many years, and his death seemed a personal tradgedy for me, knowing that there wouldn't be any more of his books forthcoming. However, Requiem at least fulfilled some of my need for new Heinlein material, because I hadn't read some of the short stories. I also really enjoyed reading the tributes by other authors who knew him and/or admired him, because it made me feel more like I knew him. I found Spider Robinson's tributes especially moving, and I really felt like he was writing the same sort of things I felt in Rah rah R.A.H, one of his tributes. The selection that Heinlein wrote some years before, and his wife read, that is in this book "This I know" was a very touching and uplifting essay, and it revealed some things about Heinlein I hadn't really known. The short stories by Heinlein, were, as usal, very well-crafted pieces of work. The two short stories he had written for a girl's magazine, Poor Daddy and The Bulletin Board, were especially interesting, because they are so different from his usual work. REQUIEM was an enjoyable book, not quite up to the very high standards of his other books, but this is a collection of his old stories, after all. Still, they are worth reading for any Heinlein fan, and the tributes are a must.
