Summary

Gene Wolfe follows his acclaimed all-fantasy short story collection, Innocents Aboard, with a volume devoted primarily to his science fiction. The twenty-five stories here amply demonstrate his range, excellence, and mastery of the form. A few tantalizing samples: Viewpoint takes on the unreality of so-called reality TV and imagines such a show done for realwith real guns. Empires of Foliage and Flower is in the classic Book of the New Sun series. Golden City Far is about dreams, high school, and finding love, which Wolfe says is about as good a recipe for a story as Ive ever found. Youre sure to agree.

Author Biography

GENE WOLFE lives in Barrington, Illinois. He is the winner of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, as well as the Nebula Award (2), the World Fantasy Award (2), the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, the British Fantasy Award, and the Prix Apollo.
