Interpretation Toward Books Grumbles from the Grave

Long before his death in 1988, Robert A. Heinlein had expressed the desire to have a selection of his letters published, after he was gone, and entitled 'Grumbles from the Grave'. But increasing pressure from his work and a series of major illnesses made it impossible for him to undertake the job of editing this himself. Now his wife, Virginia Heinlein, has taken on the labor of fulfilling his wish. Jacket design by Darrin Ehardt.

Evaluate Of Books Grumbles from the Grave

A man wearing a plaid sports jacket and mismatched polyester, elastic waist slacks walks out onto the stage. He looks smug and self confident, from his 70s era mustache to his back brace to his white patent leather casual dress shoes. His is the self-assurance of the gaudy male seed bearer. He knows his lusty effect on women.He looks a great deal like a young Dan Akroyd.Good evening, folks. Ill be presenting the review for Robert A. Heinleins posthumously published collection of letters to and

Did not find this book to hold much interest. There are a few good pointers here and there but basically the book was skimmed after getting a 1/4 of the way through. It is very impersonal, especially after reading Steinbeck A Life In Letters and Anne Sexton A Self-Portrait in Letters which were both 5 star books from this point of view. I would have liked to get to know Heinlein but it just was not the case through his letters.

wonderful insight to Heinleins life. good fun read. contains spoilers of his works.

This book contains numerous letters by Heinlein, or at least substantial excerpts from his letters. What struck me as very interesting, however, is the letters it did not include. Nine out of every ten letters seemed to be from Heinlein to his agent or editor. There were very few letters to him (by said agents or editors), and very few letters by his third wife Virginia. All letters were in some way on the subject of writing, with brief forays into the subjects of cats, housebuilding, travel,

804.91 Correspondence - a posthumous 1989 autobiography of science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein collated by his wife Virginia Heinlein from his notes and writings. Grumbles from the Grave provides insight into Heinlein's writing process (and the editorial/publishing process with which he was often at odds). In addition, it also contains evidence of his philosophy as applied to his life and personal opinions. Beginning with a short biography of Robert by Virginia, the bulk of the book

This is for the hard core Heinlein fan ;)

By no means is this an exhaustive undertaking, in fact in many places it is disappointingly spare. It frankly seems a lot like Virginia had a specific picture she was intending to paint, and only included letters that worked to that end.Still if you are a fan, this is an interesting collection, and has a few belly laugh moments - for example, while writing his agent about a person at Playboy who is trying to get him to write something for them with only an agreement over the phone, he says:
