The Programmed Utopia of R. A Lafferty's Past Master

'''Hardesty, William H. III. "The Programmed Utopia of R. A Lafferty's Past Master."''' CW [105]-13. []

"Past Master is no mere dystopian novel: it is a commentary on Sir Thomas More's Utopia itself"—and the utopian tradition—"mated with an investigation into human nature and human aspirations," perhaps most interestingly in this essay, the aspiration for utopia ([105]). See Lafferty entry under Fiction.
