Remembering Arthur C. Clarke, 1917-2008
(Sawyer Library Lobby)
We honor this titan of science fiction with a display of his works, along with works of his literary critics, contemporaries and forbears, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Jules Verne.
"The author of almost 100 books, Mr. Clarke was an ardent promoter of the idea that humanity's destiny lay beyond the confines of Earth. It was a vision served most vividly by "2001: A Space Odyssey," the classic 1968 science-fiction film he created with the director Stanley Kubrick and the novel of the same title that he wrote as part of the project." - The New York Times, March 19, 2008
