5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent Hoban,
By Hoichi, the Earless (Sietch Tabr, Arrakis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fremder (Paperback)
Besides Riddley Walker, I think Fremder stands easily toe-to-toe with the best that Hoban has ever written. Great, thought-provoking sci-fi that follows the truest tenants of the genre, while simultaniously pushing them.
The reviewer before me made a comment about this edition being only in Spanish, which is incorrect. The edition pictured is indeed in English, though it does seem to be unavalible in the US as indicated by the last reviewer. I myself aquired my copy from Amazon.co.uk At anyrate, a absolute find and very essential work that easily deserves ones attention if you follow Hoban or just love intelligent sci-fi in general.

English Language Edition,

This is an English language edition. This "original novelist" is imaginative with striking honesty and contemplative prose. A must for all of the bibliophiles of the world.

This review is from: Fremder (Paperback)
i was so happy to find this book in print! absolutely a worthwhile addition to anyone's collection of both literature and sci fi. short enough and dense enough to reread over and over again.
