John Clute

From Free net encyclopedia

John [Frederick] Clute is a Canadian born author and critic who lives in Britain.

His articles on science fiction have appeared in various publications since the 1970s and are erudite and witty, though some readers have complained that they are also rendered needlessly difficult by what Clute himself describes as their "studiously flamboyant obscurities," i.e., the use of complex and obscure phrases.

He is a co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (with Peter Nicholls) and of The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (with John Grant), as well as The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction, all of which won Hugo Awards for Best Non-Fiction. He is also author of the critical essay collections Strokes, Look at the Evidence, and Scores.
