Overview

From the gentle fantasies that include the wry title story--winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards--to ecological allegories; a horrific novelette about experimental excursions into the realm of death; and a first-contact mini-epic, this collection showcases the wide range of Bisson's powerful talent. In every piece, Bisson's characters are just as absurd as their fantastic landscape, yet thoroughly ordinary, recognizable, and authentic. His pack of scientists, artists, rednecks, insurance salesmen, astronauts, truck drivers, owlish British gentlemen, and others will stay with you like your best friends and quirkiest relations

Author Information

Bio of Terry Bisson

Terry Bisson has had a long, eclectic, and acclaimed career as a writer and publishing entrepreneur. He's scripted radio plays, talk-radio productions, and comic books; written novels and novelizations for both adult and young adult audiences; run a mail-order book service (with Judy Jensen), and published short fiction in many magazines just as prestigious as The New Yorker, thank you very much (check out his website; then you'll get it). His honors include the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Theodore Sturgeon, and Phoenix (Best Southern SF Writer) Awards. If you want a proper biography befitting the understated humor of his stories, you'll have to read the one on his website. Bisson is originally from Owensboro, Kentucky, attended school at Grinnell College and University of Louisville, and now makes his home in Oakland, CA, though we hear that Owensboro is becoming a hot town for writers.
