- LEWIS, (Ernest Michael) Roy
(1913-)
UK novelist and journalist, editor of New Commonwealth 1953-4, later with the Economist and The Times, and the author of several political/sociological studies. His sf novel, What We Did to Father (1960; vt The Evolution Man 1963; vt Once Upon an Ice Age 1979; vt The Evolution Man; or, How I Ate my Father 1992), amusingly concentrates human culturalEVOLUTION during the Pleistocene into the hands of one man, the narrator's father, all of whose discoveries are seen in terms of their extrapolated effects. Not surprisingly, the parricide which ends the book is nothing if not proto-neo-Freudian.The Extraordinary Reign of King Ludd: An Historical Tease (1990) is an ALTERNATE WORLD story, a utopian SATIRE in which QueenVictoria abdicates in 1849 and International Socialism triumphs. A Walk with Mr Gladstone (1991 chap) is a gaslight romance featuring the UK prime minister and other characters, some historical, some RECURSIVE.
