ARTHUR C. CLARKE. Book inscribed and signed: "To Rob
Walker/with all good wishes/Arthur C Clarke/Colombo,/31 May 1995, 278p,
6¼x9½. 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke. N.Y: Ballantine Books,
1987. Hardcover without dust jacket. Signed on title page. Clarke is perhaps
best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey. In 1964, the popular science
fiction writer had been approached by director Stanley Kubrick, who wanted
to make "the proverbial good science fiction movie." Clark simultaneously wrote
his novel, which spanned man's exploration of his universe from the savannahs of
Africa to the rings of Saturn, as Kubrick was creating the film. Both debuted in
1968. Besides his sequels to 2001, including this volume, Clarke has
produced some of SF's most celebrated novels, including Childhood's End
and Rendezvous with Rama, thought-provoking short stories like "The Nine
Billion Names of God," and many essays. Born in 1917 and resident in Sri Lanka
since 1946, Clarke has won two Hugo and one Nebula award, and shared an Oscar
with Kubrick in 1968. Binding on spine is lightly worn, obscuring some
letters of title and author's name. Otherwise, fine condition.
