CORLETT, William

CORLETT, William
(1938-)
   UK actor, playwright and novelist, in the latter capacity mostly for older children. He is of sf interest mainly for the Gate trilogy - The Gate of Eden (1974), The Land Beyond (1975) and Return to the Gate (1975) - set in a bleak DYSTOPIAN UK of the NEAR FUTURE: social disintegration prefigures the moments of hope and rebuilding in the final volume. The Dark Side of the Moon (1976) ingeniously parallels the experiences of a kidnapped child with those of an astronaut spiritually adrift in deep space. The Magician's House sequence-comprising The Steps up the Chimney (1990),The Door in the Tree(1991), The Tunnel behind the Waterfall (1991) and The Bridge in the Clouds (1993) - is fantasy.
