FEELEY, Gregory

FEELEY, Gregory
(1955-)
   US critic and writer whose essays and book reviews have appeared throughout the 1980s in various journals from the Washington Post to FOUNDATION. Sometimes adversarial, unfailingly intelligent, they representa cold-eyed view of a genre he loves by a critic immersed in its material. Although he began publishing sf with "The Light at the End of thePenumbra" in Ascents of Wonder (anth 1977) ed David GERROLD, GF did not become active as an author of fiction for about a decade. His first novel, The Oxygen Barons (1990), served therefore as a sort of debut, surprisingsome by turning out to be a HARD-SF tale of a terraformed Moon (TERRAFORMING). In what seems a perfectly standard fashion, colonists and agiant corporation are at loggerheads; it is only the labyrinth of the plot that exposes the novel as other than orthodox.
