There are a lot of things happening in this book, but what I mostly retain is the author ‘s love letter to art, African American artists in particular.

Stranger in the Strange Land came in 1961. Seems suprisingly late.
Was thinking who might have come first: first was going to say Jules Verne, but then remembered the early English translations were rubbish, and thus didn't sell. But surely Conan Doyle's Lost World in 1912? The first film came out in in 1925!
