  • Resumen

  • Charles L. Harness' 1953 novel The Paradox Men was originally published under the title Flight Into Yesterday. It is a classic example of elevated pulp, which features swordfights, superpowers, voyages to the sun, and a strange furry creature that can speak - if only to speak the phrase "don't go..."

    The Paradox Men is featured in David Pringle's 1985 book Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels. This inclusion is arguably a key reason why Harness and his work have avoided a descent into obscurity. But as we'll see, The Paradox Men is a superior pulp story, which combines influences from Einstein, the historian Arnold J. Toynbee, and the strange of the Canadian writer A.E. Van Vogt.
