Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A couple of stories are quite funny, but most of them resort to worn-out stereotypes (especially the smothering Jewish mother) and/or weirdness just for the sake of being weird. And I know exile and persecution are part of the Jewish story, if I wanted to read about so many characters being abused, tortured or oppressed, I would have picked up a history book instead of a sci-fi anthology. The editor also stuffed all sorts of metaphors into his notes before each story -- maybe trying to imitate the style of Ray Bradbury, but unfortunately without the sense. ( ) http://nhw.livejournal.com/1016298.html Not really very satisfied with this collection of "Jewish sf" stories. Perhaps I am over-sensititve to ethnic stereotypes, even by the ostensibly stereotyped, as a result of too much exposure to paddywhackery myself. It may seem an odd criticism, but I found it much more ethnocentric than I had expected: despite a recurrent theme of various non-human creatures claiming to be Jewish, in fact most of the stories totally play to stereotypes based on the mid-twentieth century Jewish experience in the United States, rather than on any broader exploration of Jewish identity or history. I'd be surprised if a European or Israeli Jew felt there was a lot here they could identify with. There is a truly awful story by George Alec Effinger. Rather disappointing. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy? Yes! Wandering Stars is the landmark collection of Jewish science fiction and fantasy. The first of its kind, it is an established and enduring classic. This is the first time in a science fiction collection that the Jewish People--and the richness of their themes and particular points of view--appear without a mask. Wandering Stars is a showpiece of Jewish wit, culture, and lore, of the blend of humor and sadness, cynicism, and faith. In these pages you'll find superlative tales of fantasy and science fiction by masters. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
