Theodore Sturgeon
I quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica "born Feb. 26, 1918, Staten Island, N.Y., U.S. died May 8, 1985, Eugene, Ore.
Sturgeon was unusual among his peers in writing about loneliness, love, and sex. His typical protagonists are youthful victims of repression who are liberated from their isolation by the intervention of superhuman forces or by the development of their abnormal powers. His narratives are considered daring for featuring the problems of hermaphrodites, exiled lovers, and homosexuals. Although his stories have been criticized for their sentimental conclusions and adolescent emotionality, his concentration on human relationships is unique among Golden Age science-fiction writers."
Can’t say I have read anything he’s written - More than Human(1953), In Venus plus X (1960), The Dreaming Jewels (1950; also published as The Synthetic Man), The Cosmic Rape (1958), and Some of Your Blood (1961) - but it appears he "once observed that ‘95% of everything is crap’". A man after my own heart… I see some Sturgeon in my furture
