Almost Complete Short Fiction by Wallace West (ed. Jerry eBooks, 2020)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.5mb
Overview: Wallace George West, born on May 22, 1900 in Walnut Hills, Kentucky, was a lawyer, author, public-relations man and pollution-control expert.
West began publishing short stories with “Static” in Sea Stories (September, 1926) and sf with “The Last Man” in Amazing Stories (February 1929); thereafter appearing fairly regularly in the magazines until the late 1960s. The majority of West’s work was short fiction. His stories, though unpretentiously told, exhibit a level-headed cognitive vigour that keeps even his early work from dating. Some of his tales—like “Dust”—made significant early attempts to put pollution and other side-effects of progress on the sf agenda.
His first books were two Betty Boop film tie-ins in the Big Little Books format. Most of West’s 1960s novels were revisions of pre-World War Two material, though The Memory Bank demonstrates his marginally more awkward later form. He was never a remarkable writer, nor did he ever devote himself full-time to fiction; but he was always entertaining.
Wallace West died on March 8, 1980 in Shelby, Michigan.
