Biographical test
Jacques Goimard wrote the biographical test of van Vogt contained in the foreword. During 54 pages, he discusses the literary beginnings, the moments of material changes, the bad patches, as of the various attempts that van Vogt made to surmount those. He explains why the work of van Vogt still influences the current science fiction.Although Patrice Duvic also produced to him a biographical test of van Vogt in perfect Futur , it is another test with reading to have a historical prospect on the motivations behind the various books and the various news which van Vogt produced.
