Biographical Note
John Thomas Sladek (December 15, 1937 – March 10, 2000) wrote satirical and surrealistic novels. He was a native of Minnesota. Sladek was involved in the New Wave movement of science fiction. Arachne Rising, the manuscript and working documents in this collection, was a bit of a spoof, purporting to be an account of the thirteenth sign of the Zodiac. A further hoax, Judgment of Jupiter as by Richard A. Tilms, was even less successful.
Scope and Content Note
Manuscript and notes of Arachne Rising, a supposedly non-fiction account of the thirteenth sign of the zodiac, published under the pseudonym James Vogh; Manuscript of Judgment of Jupiter, as by Richard A. Tilms.
