Compared to "Space, Time and Nathaniel" and "The Canopy of Time" I don't consider this the strongest of Brian Aldiss' short story collections. Only completists need seek this out. ( ) A very nice short story collection by one of the greats of science fiction, Brian W. Aldiss. The story that grabbed me the most was about a visit of a group of scientists to a remote planet where one other human has exiled himself and is treated as a god by the locals. The scientists however go through more trouble to discover the truth behind the pygmies and their pets, who look like small dogs and small bears. The stories in this book are pretty good and very entertaining, but not much more than that. Three out of five stars.

Contém
This collection of stories contains eight excursions into the imagination and poetry of Aldiss' writing. It poses questions such as how the human mind would respond in a non-human body, and whether universal laughter could save the world. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
