Amour, Amour, Dear Planet!
by Mark Clutter
About the author
Mark Clutter is credited as the author of Amour, Amour, Dear Planet!, a science fiction novel first published in the early 1950s and now available through Project Gutenberg. Library and catalog records consistently link his name with that title, but they offer almost no personal background.
Because reliable public sources are so sparse, there is not much that can be safely said about his life beyond his authorship of that novel. He seems to be one of those writers whose work survived more clearly than the details of the person behind it.
For listeners who enjoy vintage speculative fiction, that obscurity can be part of the appeal: Clutter's name comes down to us mainly through a single imaginative story from the magazine era of science fiction.
