Bill Patterson is the Heinlein Scholar at U.C. Santa Cruz, working with the Robert A. Heinlein Archive. Editor/Publisher of The Heinlein Journal, Co-Author of The Martian Named Smith: Critical Perspectives on Robert Heinlein's Stranger In a Strange Land, and author of the forthcoming biography of Heinlein, The Man Who Learned Better: Robert A. Heinlein in Dialogue With His Century. "I do other things than Heinlein," he says, "though he was so central to so much of what was going on in SF that everything comes back to him in the end." Bill's current project is to help open up academic SF criticism to post-Structuralist critical regimes.
