Paradigmatic, memorable stories,
By
This review is from: Here Comes Civilization: The Complete Science Fiction of William Tenn, Volume 2 (Hardcover)
William Tenn is not forgotten, as witnessed by the publication of these two collections, but is not nearly as well known as he should be. This seems to be because he is primarily a short-story writer, and all the kudos go to novelists. But Asimov and Clarke are also justly celebrated for the paradigmatic short stories such as "Nightfall" and "The Nine Billion Names of God". Tenn wrote many more such than either Asimov or Clarke, and deserves to be read accordingly.
I first read "The Discovery of Morniel Mathaway", "Lisbon Cubed", and "The Masculinist Revolt" around thiry years ago, but never forgot them: they're THAT original, and THAT well executed.

Another Classic SF Author Rescued From (Near) Oblivion,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Here Comes Civilization: The Complete Science Fiction of William Tenn, Volume 2 (Hardcover)
This volume is one of NESFA's superlative "Choice" series, a series dedicated to bringing back into print the works of many of SF's classic authors who are in danger of being forgotten.
If you are a fan of classic SF from the 1940s, '50, and '60s, this book (and its companion, "Immodest Proposals") should be in your collection. William Tenn is a delightful writer! |
