VINICOFF, Eric

(? -)

   US writer whose first novel - after the publication of a short tale, Spacing Dutchman (1978 chap) with Marcia Martin - was Maiden Flight (1988), a post- HOLOCAUST story which, like many from the last decades ofthe 20th century, sees the destruction of the current world civilization essentially in terms of the opportunities it presents for making a better future. EV's USA, like a great adventure playground, rewards the high-tech citizens of the new order who occupy it, en passant fighting off a local menace before settling into productive relationships.
