CBRetriever | 6117 comments Kate Wilhelm, author of many of science fiction's seminal books and stories (e.g. Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang), would have been a titan in the field if she had only written; but Wilhelm's prodigious authorly accomplishments are matched by her influence on the generations of writers trained in the Clarion Workshops, which she co-founded with Robin Scott Wilson and her husband Damon Knight.

Kate was the sole surviving member of that original trio, and this week she died, at the age of 89.

That's such a shame! Rest in peace and live in ideas, Kate!

Trike I went through a serious Kate Wilhelm binge back in the 80s, and every book was terrific. I didn’t even care most of them weren’t SFF. RIP
