Fantastic Fiction: French SF in Translation in F&SF (1961)

The text Fantastic Fiction against a retrofuturistic design of a rounded triangle shape with a gold swirl pattern.

The early years of the 1960s brought a number of French science fiction stories into English, thanks in a big way to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. This kicked off decades of French science fiction in English, including several Pierre Boulle novels (like Planet of the Apes), that in turn inspired major films, introducing American readers to a more expansive view of SF.
