Damon Knight was the first significant critic in the field of SF. "In Search of Wonder" contains his ground-breaking essays. He has also done dozens of excellent anthologies (being one of the best editors of the 60's & early 70's). The original "Oribit" anthologies (1 to 21) are especially good. I've never any of his novels, but I've enjoyed what I've read of his short stories . Most familiar to net readers would be "To Serve Man" (basis of the Twilight Zone episode).
