Robert A. Heinlein bibliography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988) was productive during a writing career that spanned the last 49 years of his life; the Robert A. Heinlein bibliography includes 32 novels, 59 short stories and 16 collections published during his life. Four films, two TV series, several episodes of a radio series, and a board game derive more or less directly from his work. He wrote a screenplay for one of the films. Heinlein edited an anthology of other writers' SF short stories.

Three non-fiction books and two poems have been published posthumously. One novel has been published posthumously and another, an unusual collaboration, was published in 2006. Four collections have been published posthumously.

Known pseudonyms include Anson MacDonald (7 times), Lyle Monroe (7), John Riverside (1), Caleb Saunders (1), and Simon York (1).[1] All the works originally attributed to MacDonald, Saunders, Riverside and York, and many of the works originally attributed to Lyle Monroe, were later reissued in various Heinlein collections and attributed to Heinlein.

  • For Us, The Living: A Comedy of Customs (written in 1939, published posthumously in 2003)
  • Variable Star (posthumously with Spider Robinson; Heinlein's eight page outline written in 1955; Robinson's full novel from the outline appeared in 2006)
  • The Pursuit of the Pankera, published posthumously in 2020, an alternate version of The Number of the Beast

Pending Heinlein novel[]

On February 1, 2019, Phoenix Pick announced that through a collaboration with the Heinlein Prize Trust, a reconstruction of the full text of an unpublished Heinlein novel had been produced. The reconstructed novel, tentatively entitled 666 was an alternative version of The Number of the Beast, with the first one-third of mostly the same, but the remainder having a completely different story-line. The newly reconstructed novel pays homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs and E. E. "Doc" Smith. The reconstructed novel was to be edited by Patrick LoBrutto. The reconstructed novel was intended to be published in the fourth quarter of 2019 alongside a re-release of The Number of the Beast,[13] but it was later renamed The Pursuit of the Pankera: A Parallel Novel about Parallel Universes and scheduled for release on March 24, 2020.[14] The original plan for a costly crowd-funded edition has not been fulfilled, with both versions of the book available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle form.

Short fiction[]

"Future History" short fiction[]

Other short speculative fiction[]

All the works initially attributed to Anson MacDonald, Caleb Saunders, John Riverside and Simon York, and many of the works attributed to Lyle Monroe, were later reissued in various Heinlein collections and attributed to Heinlein.

At Heinlein's insistence, the three Lyle Monroe stories marked with the symbol '§' were never reissued in a Heinlein anthology during his lifetime.

Heinlein's novelette "The Year of the Jackpot" was the cover story in the March 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction
Heinlein's short story "Sky Lift" took the cover of the November 1953 issue of Imagination

Complete works[]

  • The Virginia Edition, a 46-volume hardcover collection of all of Robert Heinlein's stories, novels, and nonfiction writing, plus a selection of his personal correspondence, was announced by Meisha Merlin Publishing in April 2005; the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust (which now owns the Heinlein copyrights) instigated the project. Meisha Merlin went out of business in May 2007 after producing six volumes: I Will Fear No Evil, Time Enough for Love, Starship Troopers, For Us, the Living, The Door into Summer, and Double Star.
  • then decided to publish the edition itself, having formed the Virginia Edition Publishing Co. for this purpose. As was true for the Meisha Merlin effort, individual volumes are not offered; subscribers must purchase the entire 46-volume set. The final five volumes (including two volumes of screenwriting, both produced and unproduced) were shipped to subscribers in June 2012.
  • In July 2007, the Heinlein Prize Trust opened the online Heinlein Archives, which allows people to purchase and download items from the Heinlein Archive previously stored at the University of California-Santa Cruz. The Trust makes grants available to those using the archives for scholarly purposes.
