Irontown Blues
(Eight Worlds #4)
by John Varley
3.83

from
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37504319-irontown-blues

Goodreads reviewer says:
Lowell rated it really liked it

Irontown Blues is a fun romp that moves fast and, in general,
has no problems going where anyone has gone before. It is both
a critique of and love letter to Robert Heinlein's "The Moon
is a Harsh Mistress," and features a noir-obsessed private
investigator and his dog (who walks through walls).

I'm also posting to
alt.books.arthur-clarke
because of Varley's 8 Worlds,
seemed inclusive of many of Clarke's ideas.

I pretty much posted the above on facebook,
and, among many responses, I got this:

Varley spent time in Hollywood. One of the scripts he wrote
remains shelved ....

Why not post to rec.arts.sf.written ?

I suppose I could Lynn.
Except so far, really the above is not much to say.
Sure gets decent response on the Heinlein Facebook
group.

Also a very large number of posters on
rec.arts.sf.written
are a surly disagreeable lot.
Some days I'm willing to engage in 'disagreeableness' ,
some days I'm not.
