Untitled[edit]

"A Canticle for Leibowitz was the only novel by Miller published in his lifetime" is contradicted by the list of two earlier novels. Does anyone know anything about these. The article should be rewritten to avoid contradicting itself. Rick Norwood 13:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the research, and the two other "novels" listed are stories, one from Amazing, one from F&SF. I'll remove them for the "novels" section. They may be long stories -- I haven't checked the page counts -- but they have never been published in a "stand alone" format, only in magazines and anthologies.

Project Gutenberg lists "Death of a Spaceman" and "The Hoofer" as not copyrighted in the US. Does anyone know why they aren't following the normal life of author+75? Are Miller's other works out of copyright as well? --AdamNess (talk) 23:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miller's background[edit]

Nothing here is said about his childhood and parents. Was Miller Jewish himself before converting? The character Leibowitz certainly was and in the story, converted to Catholicism after the "Simplification". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 (talk) 06:50, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
