It's clear that Tiptree's husband didn't willingly enter into any mutual suicide pact.<BR/><BR/>Alice Sheldon was afraid of becoming debilitated and so decided at some point to kill herself before she lost the capacity.<BR/><BR/>She discussed this with her husband and he didn't want to.Peter L.

A respected editor of science fiction introduced this new writer's work to the world in these terms, in 1975:<BR/><BR/>'there is to me something ineluctably masculine about Tiptree's writing... his work is analogous to that of Hemingway... that prevailing masculinity about both of them - that preoccupation with questions of courage, with absolute values, with the mysteries and passions of life and death as revealed by extreme physical tests.'<BR/><BR/>No wonder she found it hard to cope with the revelation of her true identity two years later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
