GRAY, Curme

GRAY, Curme
(1910-1980)
   US writer in whose complex sf novel Murder in Millennium VI (1951) a homicide case shakes a matriarchal DYSTOPIA thousands of years hence - murder being inexplicable to the inhabitants of this world. The focus of interest in the novel is the gradual unveiling of the fact that a gradual transition - not back to patriarchy but to some synthesis - is under way. There is a detailed analysis in In Search of Wonder (1956) by Damon KNIGHT, the admiring tone of which has not been universally shared.
