Heinlein Gets the Last Word

http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/09/28/lifetimes/vonnegut-stranger_heinlein.html

"To those who get to say which novels are serious and which are not, professional critics and teachers of literature in the company of authors of novels about the rise or fall of ordinary people in provincial societies, it is absolutely intolerable."

'Stranger' and the Juveniles

http://www.space.com/sciencefiction/heinlein_juvenile_991101.html

"Stranger in a Strange Land looks a lot more revolutionary than it is. It's got sex, violence and a sardonic attitude toward organized religion, but it's also rooted in Heinlein's squeaky-clean novels for young readers. The juveniles taught him the skills he needed to write Stranger, and the experience of writing them may given him the drive to do it"
