RHINEHART, Luke

RHINEHART, Luke
   Pseudonym of US writer George Powers Cockcroft (1932-). His first novel, The Dice Man (1971; rev 1983), though not sf, inhabits the same universe of discourse as The Adventures of Wim (1986 UK), a long, frequently garrulous picaresque detailing the eponymous innocent's travels through time and space. Matari (1975) is a heavily allegorical love story set in a partly mythologized 18th-century Japan. Long Voyage Back (1983) takes the crew of a small ship through post- HOLOCAUST ordeals and from Chesapeake Bay to Chile. LR's books burst with didacticism, but have vivid moments.
