I have read only one book by Henry Kuttner, but it was fantastic. I read every other year or so and always get more out it. The title is Fury and it is a science fiction story. The forward is written by CL Moore after Kuttner died. Although they wrote the book together, Kuttner was the only listed author. Moore explains that they would write in turns. When one tired of the story the other would pick it up and switch back and forth until it was finished.
Seems like it's time to read it once again.
: : Henry Kuttner has written a huge amount, much of it deservedly ranked among the classics of early SF. He wrote with and without C.L. Moore (apparently each had a large hand in the other's work, even when not acknowledged), and the two of them used many other pseudonyms, notably Lewis Padgett.
: I have the strong recollection (although in recent years have come to wonder if some of what I "remember" hasn't been imagined) that Henry Kuttner and C.(Catherine?) L. Moore were husband and wife. If so, this would account for mutual influences.
