Reactions and Reviews

In "Progress" by Eva Stuart, it seems to me that Eva has made the English traditions of reserve and understatement work to their best advantage. Reserve and understatement are characteristic of Vulcans, and "Progress" is a quintessentially Vulcan story about the relationship between Spock and Sarek. The story handles the father/son conflict with such subtlety, yet without sacrificing dramatic intensity. What Spock and Sarek had not said to each other reduced me to tears. Few Americans could have written with such insight into the Vulcan manner of interpersonal relations because most Americans were brought up to relate to one another with far less restraint. "Progress" is a masterpiece. It richly deserved the Surak Award which received.
