Essay on Double Star
By Connie Willis --
I recently blathered about how characterization isn't Heinlein's strong suit. Lorenzo Smythe is a super counter-example.

Re: Essay on Double Star
Heinlein COULD do excellent characterization, it just (still) wasn't his strong suit. I agree, most of the characters in DS are extremely well-wrought... but then, it's one of his novels primarily about people.

Re: Essay on Double Star
Thanks for the link, Bill. Ms. Willis has done an excellent job of describing why Double Star is the non-juvenile book I recommend as a starting point to anyone who hasn't read Heinlein.
