Just about anything written by Lloyd Biggle is great.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A galaxy of strangers (Hardcover)
Biggle is (as far as I've heard) the only Ph.D. musicologist writing science fiction. He has a sensitive touch that makes reading his stories a pleasure; he is able to write about the arts better than anyone else, and, in fact, may be the only SF author to include the arts so integrally in his stories. His short story about a teacher is absolutely a classic. His works are worth frequent re-reading.

"A Galaxy of Strangers",
By Sam Mendola (Williamsville, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A galaxy of strangers (Hardcover)
<HTML><FONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10>Nicole Sfeir The book that I have chosen to write a review on is "A Galaxy of Strangers" written by Lloyd Biggle, Jr. This book was made up of Eight very different short stories. The first short story was called "AND MADLY TEACH". This story was about a middle-aged teacher who was assigned from mars to go earth. When she got to earth she found out that the schooling has changed a lot. When she started to teach she would have to know how to teach English via TV. This is what about Forty thousand students had to learn and Mrs. Boltz had to teach them. The second short story the Lloyd Biggle Jr. wrote in this book was "THE DOUBLE-EDGED ROPE". This story took place in a European Communist country. Mr. Jones worked for the Censorship Bureau. The third story on his list is "EYE FOR an EYE". This story was about how a Galactic Insurance man named Dudley wanted to change the insurance policies on plant Maylor. Lloyd Biggle, Jr had other really different story in his this book they where "FIRST LOVE", "WHO'S ON FIRST", "ROUND TRIP TO ESIDARAP", "NO BIZ LIKE SHOW BIZ", and "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT!" I liked this book. It was really interesting in different ways. I liked how his stories where all totally different from each other. None of the story's had anything to do with and other story in this book "A Galaxy of Strangers" Nicole S. From Williamsville
