Dreamer of Dune: The Biography of Frank Herbert

Reading this book is a PREREQUISITE to proclaiming any understanding of Frank Herbert and why he wrote what he did. This book gave me everything I needed to truly get to know the author whose works became a part of me. In reading most of Frank Herbert's works in my teenage years, I found myself guessing at who Frank must have been to be able to make the deep points he made, deeper and from a different angle in each book. Then 15 years later I returned to read "Dreamer of Dune." I did have a few things right; but how many things I had wrong and exactly who Frank was, I learned from "Dreamer of Dune." I have gone on to disprove the main arguments of several articles on Frank Herbert's works thanks to my deep understanding of Frank Herbert, only thanks to "Dreamer of Dune." As Pierre Bourdieu said, we must go away from strictly using psychoanalysis to analyze a person and move toward a more reliable source: socioanalysis. What were Frank's parents, grandparents, etc. like? Which sociocultural elements, along with events in his life, affected the thinking of Frank in all of his works? Reading this work alongside any of the works of Professor Donald Palumbo is a great way to give the depth/nuance required for proper articles on Frank Herbert. Brian Herbert, thank you very much for writing it. Your father was a philosopher. Through the sharing of his thinking we will make the world a better place.
