Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man.
After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah. His exceptional abilities lead him to become many things to many people: freak, scam artist, media commodity, searcher, free love pioneer, neon evangelist, and martyr.
Heinlein won his second Hugo Award for this novel, sometimes called his “divine comedy” and often called his masterpiece. This Blackstone audiobook is the “as published” version, read from an Ace paperback published in 1987. The full, uncut text was not made available until 1991.

Dette var nok et av mine forsøk på å se om jeg kunne sette pris på Heinlein i voksen alder, og svaret er nei. Boken har flere gjenkjennelige trekk som jeg finner typiske og særs usjarmerende med Heinlein-fortellinger. Hovedperson med magisk venn som ikke kan tape, Heinlein-retorikk fra såpekasseformat og et lite sympatisk kvinnesyn, kombinert med et underlig fokus for historien og et vell av langtekkelige detaljer. Etter forsøk på flere ulike bøker og mye godvilje er det over, jeg konkluderer med at skrivestilen til Heinlein er noe jeg ganske enkelt ikke klarer å sette pris på. Vet du imidlertid at du liker Heinleins måte å skrive på, så finner du mer av det samme her og blir godt mulig fornøyd med denne boken.
