Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) was an American author and socialist, most famous for his utopian novel set in the year 2000, Looking Backward from 2000 to 1887, published in 1888. His books include Dr. Heidenhoff's Process (1880), Miss Ludington's Sister (1884), Equality (1897) and The Duke of Stockbridge: A Romance of Shays' Rebellion (1900). His feeling of injustice in the economic system led him to write Looking Backward from 2000 to 1887 and its sequel, Equality. In Looking Backward from 2000 to 1887 an upper class man from 1887 awakens in 2000 from a hypnotic trance to find himself in a socialist utopia. It influenced a large number of intellectuals, and appears by title in many of the major Marxist writings of the day. His novel also inspired several utopian communities. A short story The Parable of the Water-Tank from the book Equality, published in 1897, was popular with a number of early American socialists. Less successful than its prequel, Equality continues the story of Julian West as he adjusts to life in the future.

Potts's Painless Cure and With the Eyes Shut
Perhaps 2 stars is too harsh. I give it 2.7 stars I guess.
Throughout life we stumble upon many stories which MUST be told, these, I am afraid, are not them. The writing talent is apparent, though the subject matter leaves much to be desired. I would liken it to a wonderful acting talent being cast for a horrible B movie. A project impossible to rescue. It was not all bad. As you would expect from a writer of this caliber, there were a few gem-worthy sentences to be extracted. Also, I did enjoy the stories, Dogology, Rastrow's Island, & Chicxulub. Besides these, I found the book tedious, as if you had made small talk with a stranger out of politeness but they rambled on without cease about their uneventful life story. I never like to leave a book incomplete no matter how uninteresting it is so the fact that I finished it is not indicative of its quality. As I have stated, the writing talent is apparent, I could just not escape the laborious subject matter. I have heard so much about his novels, I thought this may be a good introduction on varying levels to become acquainted with the author on an array of subjects. I was wrong. I will look into his more acclaimed works so as not to cast him entirely aside. I hope I fare well with his works in the future. Read this at your own discretion.
