Title: Extraordinary
Review: Disch is probably the most underappreciated science-fiction author in the world. His novels have a power and a scope which is almost impossible to find in science-fiction. In England, apparently, he is condsidered to be one of the U.S.'s finest poets, as well as one of our best SF writers (kind of a strange combination, huh?). In Camp Concentration, Disch shows us insights into the world of Louis Sachetti. Torn by disease, posessed by brilliance, this is a character never before seen in science fiction. Brilliant new ideas, engrossing style, extraordinary characters, and one heck of a plot make this novel what it is. Extraordinary. Pringle said it was one of the 100 best of all time. Samuel R. Delany said it was one of the 3 best speculative novels of the 1960's. I'd say its the best to come out of the 60's, and I've read my fair share of New Wave SF (Aldiss, Ballard, Zelazny, Delany, etc.) I'd put it at number 3 all-time, behind The Stars My Destination and Mo! re than Human.
