I was going through my book recommendations at Amazon and saw that in January 2004, they are going to publish an undiscovered Robert Heinlein novel "For Us, The Living : A Comedy of Customs." He wrote this back in 1939, and unlike most of his early fiction this is one of his "future history" novels that was aimed at more of a mature audience

I'm really excited about this. I ready everything Heinlein wrote when I was a kid and can't wait to get my hands on it.

Wow, that sounds cool. I'm like you, I think I've read almost everything he's written [that's in print], sometimes 2 or 3 times. Definitely going to look for this one, I love his Future History stories/novels [and that whole genre.]

Geofferson

That is cool. I'll get it for sure.

Me too. He is my favourite author.

i'll get this eventually - i've read everything he's done.

The plot sounds a little similar to Job: A Comedy of Justice.

There are reasons why unpublished novels are unpublished. Heinlein didn't know about this novel? He wrote it...Or did he?

What I thought was that maybe his wife had died recently, and this was found in the estate.

To slightly change the subject...

I want to collect all of his so-called juveniles in hard back, which looks like it's going to be a difficult job. I think they all need to be reissued.

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

I think I'll order it too. Even an average or below average Heinlein novel should still be worth reading.

Update!

Looks like the book is coming out in December, not January. I had placed a preorder with Amazon, got an email sent to me that my item has been shipped.

fourwalker
