To Sail Beyond the Sunset
The Life and Loves of Maureen Johnson
(Being the Memoirs of a Somewhat Irregular Lady)
by Robert A. Heinlein
To Sail Beyond the Sunset is the last of the "Lazarus Long" cycle of
stories, involving time travel, parallel dimensions, free love, voluntary
incest, and a concept that Heinlein named pantheistic solipsism - the
theory
that universes are created by the act of imagining them so that somewhere
(for example) the Land of Oz is real. Was Heinlein trying to invent
something beyond the novel, playing a joke on the genre of science
fiction,
or just suffering reduced blood flow to the brain?
Ace Putnam, New York, 1987, First Edition, 416 pages, 6 ½" x 9 1/4", blue
boards with blue cloth spine and gold lettering, dust jacket, blue
endpapers.
