The Mañana Literary Society was an informal meeting of science fiction writers in Los Angeles, California. Hosted by Robert A. Heinlein and his first wife Leslyn at their Laurel Canyon home,〔Williamson, Jack ''Who Was Robert Heinlein?'' in ''Requiem : new collected works by Robert A. Heinlein and tributes to the grand master'' NY 1992 pp.333-4 ISBN 0312855230〕 the membership included authors such as Anthony Boucher, Arthur K. Barnes, Edmond Hamilton, L. Ron Hubbard, Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore, L. Sprague de Camp, Cleve Cartmill, Leigh Brackett, and Jack Williamson. The meetings took place during 1940 and '41, until the Pearl Harbour attack and the USA entering the world war brought them to a sudden end.〔Williamson, Jack ''Who Was Robert Heinlein?'' in ''Requiem : new collected works by Robert A. Heinlein and tributes to the grand master'' NY 1992 p.334 ISBN 0312855230〕 == ''Rocket to the Morgue'' == The society and many of its members appear, thinly veiled, in Boucher's ''Rocket to the Morgue'', whose dedication (in the first edition, read "For The Mañana Literary Society and in particular for Robert Heinlein and Cleve Cartmill." ''Rocket to the Morgue'' is something of a ''roman à clef''. Many characters are thinly-veiled versions of personalities such as Robert A. Heinlein ("Austin Carter"), L. Ron Hubbard ("D. Vance Wimpole"), then-literary agent Julius Schwartz ("M. Halstead Phynn") and rocket scientist/occultist/fan Jack Parsons ("Hugo Chantrelle"); or recognizable composites of two writers ("Matt Duncan" - Cleve Cartmill and Henry Kuttner; "Joe Henderson" - Jack Williamson and Edmond Hamilton). Some writers' actual pseudonyms appear as minor characters, most prominently "Don Stuart, editor of ''Surprising''" (John W. Campbell, editor of ''Astounding Science Fiction''); but also "Anson Macdonald", "Lyle Monroe" (both Heinlein pseudonyms)... and Anthony Boucher (whose real name was William Anthony Parker White).
