I'm struggling to think. Specifically of any scientists who have or had 'literary' talents (by which I mean something other than non-fiction popularisations of their field of knowledge, or 'formulaic' crime or sci-fi pulp fiction). An interesting dualism to ponder (although for a proselytising monist that comes close to heresy).
