A question for the science fiction aficionados

I remember reading a story in a short story collection years ago and I can not remember the name of the story or the author and it's driving me nuts.

It was the ultimate time-traveller paradox story. Somehow or other, over the course of the story, it becomes apparent that this guy is his own father AND mother... I think he also murders himself in the end.

Any clues?

Are you sure that was a cigar you were smoking?

All You Zombies by Robert Heinlein?

I'm not really a SciFi aficionado, but I am a huge Heinlein fan.

That's the one! Thanks guys!

Of course it had to be Heinlein. The Door Into Summer was another memorable example of the time traveller paradox.

I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with R.A.H. His ideas were always first rate and they were always worked them out very consistently; but on the other hand, every one of his novels (that I've read) has had some weird and unsavory overtones.
