The Animal Down-Deep: Cordwainer Smith’s Late Tales of the Underpeople - Carol McGuirk

"“The Animal Down-Deep: Cordwainer Smith’s Late Tales of the Underpeople,” Carol McGuirk, professor of English at Florida Atlantic University and an editor of Science Fiction Studies. During the 1980s she wrote a column on science fiction for the New York Daily News, and she has written three books about the poet Robert Burns. As a science fiction scholar, one of her research interests is the author Cordwainer Smith. Her talk is part of her ongoing project “Dominion,” which considers literary representations of animals from Milton’s “Paradise Lost” (1667) to Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” (1968)."
