Talk:Damon Knight

message: The reason I separated the bibliography was that at John W. Campbell, Jr., where I also created a biblio of first editions, a comment on GA review was that the biblio was too detailed for the article.  I don't mind whether it's in the main article or separated, but I think it should be consistent, and I'd be a little concerned that someone would argue for separating it again.  The GA comment is here, and the biblio of Campbell as a separate article is here. Mike Christie (talk) 01:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am removing the merge tag as there has been no other comment. Mike Christie (talk) 20:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Only his bibliog has an entry for
: Beyond the Barrier, Garden City: Doubleday & Company, 1964; hardcover 
and there are only 3 copies within inter-library-loan range for me. I'm not prepared to make the case for upgrading mention of the book into the accompanying article. It does have some distinctions, tho. The PoV-setting character is a physics prof (in 1980, 16 years into Knight's future). Curiously provoked by the context-less question "Professor, what is a zug?" (which stuck in at least my mind far longer than the author and title), he has recourse to the university library's computer-based, uh, 'pedia. (Sorry: ARPANET may have existed when he wrote, but public demo was 4 years off. And 1-person-portable wireless meant a push-to-talk walkie-talkie and per-user FCC licenses.) For plot simplicity, Zug (disambiguation) goes unmentioned, and the only article is within the domain of Swiss geography: there's no mutated orthilodont article (but he doesn't yet know those future-biology terms, either).  It's not hard science fiction by any means (characters are being sent back to 20th century from the far future, and for reasons that rest on the "barrier" of the title, a phenomenon that is a classic exercise of SF literary fiat), but the behavior of the gratuitous goofball matter-interpenetrating vehicle was subjected to apparently rigorous real-universe analysis: harmonic motion driven by the radically non-uniform G-field (non-simple harmonic motion!), with Coriolis effect and orbital motion factored in. If i had to guess, i'd say it's a longshot for an article, tho a paragraph may not be out of the question. But i don't have to guess; i'm quite happy to rely on many eyeballs over my guesses.--Jerzy•t 07:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
