Book Presentation:
Though Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey boasts a large and ever-expanding fan-base, there are few among even the most avid enthusiasts that fully understands the film's inheritance, complexities, and ironies. The essays in this collection, commissioned from a wide variety of scholars, examine in detail various possible readings of the film, its historical context, and its status as a quintessential science-fiction genre piece.

Edited by Robert Kolker, Adjunct Professor, University of Virginia

Press Reviews:
"Robert Kolker, one of the best writers on Kubrick, has assembled nine impressive new essays from talented contributors on the director's most spectacular and enigmatic film. The collection is valuable not only for its post-millenial commentary on 2001, but also for its fresh insights into Kubrick's work as a whole." - James Naremore, author of More Than Night: Film Noir in Its Contexts
