451.0. "Margaret St. Clair?" by CGHUB::CONNELLY (Eye Dr3 - Regnad Kcin) Mon Feb 23 1987 23:36

Has anyone else read anything by Margaret (sp?) St. Clair?  Around
1962 or 1963 I read a book by her called "Sign of the Labrys" that
still sticks in my head because of its hints of feminism and paganism.

I have a feeling she may have written another few short stories and
novels since then.  Does anybody know what those might be?  Is "Sign
of the Labrys" still available anywhere?  (I'd love to re-read it!)

Does anyone know what became of her?

	Unfortunately, I believe that she died recently. I'll have to check my last few SF CHRONICLES. She was born in 1911 and was pretty much retired for about the last 10 years, except for about four short stories that appeared circa 1980. Here is what I can give you for a bibliography: AGENT OF THE UNKNOWN 1956 THE GREEN QUEEN 1956 THE GAMES OF NEITH 1960 SIGN OF THE LABRYS 1963 MESSAGE FROM THE EOCENE 1964 THREE WORLDS OF FUTURITY 1964 [collection] THE DOLPHINS OF ALTAIR 1967 THE SHADOW PEOPLE 1969 THE DANCERS OF NOYO 1973 CHANGE THE SKY AND OTHER STORIES 1974 [collection] THE BEST OF MARGARET ST. CLAIR 1985 [collection] Together, the collections account for about � of her short story output, under her own name and her pseudonym Idris Seabright. None of her books ever had more than one edition, and the last-listed collection is the only thing likely to be still in print. --- jerry

	Thanks for that info, Jerry, especially the pen name. Margaret St. Clair writes memorable stuff. My favorite was "Minister Without Portfolio," wherein a woman saves the world thanks to her poor eyesight. That was in an anthology called "Invaders of Earth," edited by Anthony Boucher. JP

	Try THE DOLPHINS OF ALTAIR (if you can find it); it was one of her best. Don R.
