The Tree of Life is a classic science fiction novelette by Catherine L. Moore (pen name C. L. Moore). This is a great story, offering a good sampling of Moore's "Weird Tales" output from the 1930's. C. L. Moore wrote alongside her husband, Harry Kuttner. The two became acquainted after Kuttner wrote her a letter, thinking (due to her pen name) that she was a man.

Produktbeschreibung
The Tree of Life is a classic science fiction novelette by Catherine L. Moore (pen name C. L. Moore). This is a great story, offering a good sampling of Moore's "Weird Tales" output from the 1930's. C. L. Moore wrote alongside her husband, Harry Kuttner. The two became acquainted after Kuttner wrote her a letter, thinking (due to her pen name) that she was a man. Going by her initials was largely a practical matter; at the time Catherine Moore was writing, there was a strong prejudice that science fiction writing should be masculine, and female authors had a very difficult time getting an audience. Most notable female science fiction authors either used initials or gender-neutral pseudonyms, for a good many years after that era. It wasn't until fans dug up the obituary of James Tiptree Jr.'s mother that "he" was identified as Alice Sheldon. After all these years, "The Tree of Life" remains a great read, and excellent introduction to the works of Catherine, or C. L. Moore.

Autorenporträt
Catherine Lucille Moore, known professionally as C. L. Moore, was an influential American science fiction and fantasy writer, born on January 24, 1911, in Indianapolis, Indiana. She rose to prominence in the 1930s and was one of the first women to write extensively in the science fiction and fantasy genres. Moore s pioneering work helped pave the way for future generations of female speculative fiction writers. Her stories often blended elements of science fiction with fantasy and adventure, gaining her widespread recognition. Moore was married twice, first to Henry Kuttner, a fellow science fiction writer, from 1940 until his death in 1958, and later to Thomas Reggie in 1963. She was awarded the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in recognition of her contributions to the genre. Moore s influence remains significant, as her works have inspired countless authors and helped shape the development of speculative fiction. She passed away on April 4, 1987, in Hollywood, California, at the age of 76. Her legacy continues to resonate within the science fiction and fantasy communities.
