( ) Two dozen or so stories, mostly from the 1950s & 60s. They remind me of the kind of pulp sci fi I read in junior and senior high school, in magazines and paperback anthologies. I recognized at least half of the authors by name, and might well have read and then forgotten some of these works. Some were easy to skim through or skip. Others, like Jerome Bixby's aliens in 'Zen', and Algis Budrys' gifted orphan with his maternal empath in 'Riya's Foundling', showed me why this was the golden age of sic fi. This anthology helped me recall what kind of kid I was in those days, and what literature meant to me then. no reviews | add a review
