W. E. B. DuBois

[Emphyricist]

Of course I've only known W. E. B. DuBois as a civil rights activist, and I'm not sure how many non-Americans know of him at all, but I recently bought a giant collection of SF on newsprint which included a story by DuBois: "The Comet." It's a really good story, social science fiction before that was a thing. Does anybody know whether DuBois wrote any other science fiction?

ISFDB lists "The Comet" and "Jesus Christ in Texas" as both originally being published in 1920, but doesn't list any other titles.

"The Comet" was included in the anthology Dark Matter in 2000, and in both The Big Book of Science Fiction and Grave Predictions in 2016.

I never knew he wrote any science fiction stories.

 

[Emphyricist]

The Big Book of Science Fiction is the giant newsprint book I mentioned.

 

[Guttersnipe]

I did enjoy "The Comet," even though I wouldn't call it timeless.
