Broom Lynne, James
Entry updated 7 August 2023. Tagged: Artist, Author.
(1916-1995) UK painter, designer, illustrator, teacher and author, sometimes using the original hyphenated form of his surname, Broom-Lynne; he also wrote as by James Quartermain. Almost all his fiction is nonfantastic, with the exception of Drag Hunt (1969), set in a Satirized Dystopian Near Future where violence is encouraged as a social pacifier, and – as in other sf extrapolations of Games and Sports – fox-hunting has been replaced by hunts for scapegoated humans. [For Wild Hunt see The Encyclopedia of Fantasy under links below.] [JC]
