in Political Science from UCLA in 1968, and a M.F.A. Open Road Media has a a good and growing selection of his works – start with Quozl and you won’t be disappointed.Bestselling science fiction writer Alan Dean Foster was born in New York City in 1946, but raised mainly in California. The always “fun” Quozl will appeal to children and adults alike. The bestselling author of over 120 books, Foster has shown an incredible ability to“ the collision of cultures, the inevitable, uniquely,” while never letting the reader forget that “science fiction is fun it is the fun of speculation” ( Library Journal).
In Quozl, rabbit-like aliens (that, of course, have a procreation problem) plan to colonize planet Earth, only to find that there are sentient creatures already living there: humans. Quozl is a quirky, humor-filled romp that asks deep philosophical questions even as it gives readers much to laugh about. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by an Alan Dean Foster read and when it comes to humor, he is a master of not only creating implausible situations and making them work, but also a master of the genre in-joke and not averse to the occasional (deliberately awful) pun. I admire his insistence that our biggest – undiscussed issue – is population), which pretty much establishes him as an author skilled in a wide variety of genres – original science fiction (the Flynx and Pip adventures,, the Tran-Ky-Ky trilogy), novelizations ( Alien, Splinter of the Minds Eye), light, humorous fantasy in the Spellsinger series, horror ( Into the Out Of), historicals ( Maori) and humorous science fiction, of which Quozl is exemplary.
