INTRODUCTION
Malcolm Jameson (1891–1945) was an American science fiction author who based much of his work on his background as an officer in the U.S. Navy. Jameson’s first published fiction appeared in Astounding in 1938. He was active in American pulp magazines for only 7 years, but he helped set the standard for quality during the Golden Age of Science Fiction. He wrote not just for John W. Campbell’s magazines, Astounding Science Fiction and Unknown Worlds, but also for magazines like Startling Stories and Weird Tales. His writing career began when complications from throat cancer limited his activity.
His stories of Solar System exploration about Bullard of the Space Patrol
were posthumously collected in 1951 as a fixup novel and won the Boys Clubs of America Award. Reviewing that collection, critics Boucher and McComas praised Bullard as the most successfully drawn series character in modern science fiction.
P. Schuyler Miller wrote that Jameson drew on his own naval experience to give the stories a warm atmosphere of reality.
Jameson’s story Doubled and Redoubled
may be the earliest work of fiction to feature a time loop. And his story Blind Alley
from Unknown was filmed as an episode of The Twilight Zone (retitled Of Late I Think of Cliffordville
).
Alfred Bester described meeting Jameson in about 1939 this way: Mort Weisinger introduced me to the informal luncheon gatherings of the working science fiction authors of the late thirties... Malcolm Jameson, author of navy-oriented space stories, was there, tall, gaunt, prematurely grey, speaking in slow, heavy tones. Now and then he brought along his pretty daughter, who turned everybody’s head.
Had he lived another 20 years, the shape of the science fiction field might have been significantly different,
