Barton Paul Levenson (born May 9, 1960) is an American writer of science fiction, fantasy and the macabre.[1] He is author of eight novels and over 80 short stories, articles, reviews and other publications.
Background
Levenson was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He started writing in 1974.[1] He is a 1983 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh[1] He became a Christian in 1984.[2] His first work of fiction was a short story, "Twenty Peasants," published in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine in 1991.[3] Levenson is a two-time winner of the "Confluence Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Story Contest" for "Virtual Bridges" and "Reality Forbidden".[4] He is a long-standing member of one of Pittsburgh's oldest Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Workshops, Carnegie-Mellon University-based Pittsburgh Worldwrights,[5] which includes Pittsburgh science fiction writer Kenneth Chiacchia among its members. He is a former member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.[6]
Levenson's first separate novel in paperback format, I Will, was released in June 2010.[7] One of Levenson's characters, Khuminay, returned in "Khuminay and the Servant" in Cosmic Crime Stories and "Khuminay and the Axe-Wielding Psycho," which appeared in Electric Spec. This followed his novel Year of the Human.
Style
Reviewers consider Levenson's writing complex.[8] It is often in the first-person and it sometimes takes on other genders[9] or species.[10] Levenson's works often contain Christian Parables,[11][12] cat-like aliens [13] and complex scientific concepts.[14] Levenson's focus on science fiction started when he was eight years old, when his parents took him to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey[15] He described his writing process in a 2010 interview with author Sonya Clark, stating that he starts writing with either a broad plot outline in mind, or even one daydreamed scene. Often, the process will fail and the result is an incomplete work.[15] His work is inspired by authors ranging from C.S. Lewis to Edgar Allan Poe.[1] In "The Closet" Chiaroscuro, 2003,[16] humankind's unwillingness to accept the consequences of their own choices is examined. Several of his stories are based in Pittsburgh, often in different eras. For example; in "The Boogie-Woogie, Time-Traveling, Cyborg Blues", Pittsburgh in the 1930s is the back-drop.
Controversy
One of Levenson's most cited essays, "The Ideology of Robert A. Heinlein."[17] has been reprinted in several languages (See Essays herein-below). Levenson argues that Heinlein was making a case for the value of fascism. Levenson has been writing about Climate issues for many years. His colloquoys can often be found on: Real Climate[18] Levenson's first peer-reviewed scientific article as sole author was published in 2011: "Planet Temperatures with Surface Cooling Parameterized." in Advances in Space Research 47, 2044–2048, a COSPAR Publication of Elsevier, cited herein below. Levenson's Japan-themed story: "Temple Cat", cited herein-below, is reprinted in the charity anthology: "Healing Waves" from Sky Warrior Book Publishing and edited by Phyllis Irene Radford, who is donating all proceeds from the sales to disaster relief in Japan.[19]
