5.0 out of 5 stars
Convoluted, splendidly-silly tall tales. 4.6 stars,
By
This review is from: Numbers Don't Lie (Paperback)
This is a collection of the three Wilson Wu stories (first published in Asimov's, 1994-98), gathered into a nice little fixup 'novel'. The first, "The Hole in the Hole" introduces Wu and his Brooklyn pal Irving, as they search for an all-Volvo junkyard -- which, the author notes, really exists (or did) in the real Hole in darkest Brooklyn. Presumably the real Frankie's lacks the periodic incongruent neotopological adjacency (aka the lunar tire-dump) that is the centerpiece of this convoluted and very entertaining tall tale.. Which you may well have already seen -- it was a Hugo nominee, and has been reprinted several times. The other two stories aren't quite up to HOLE -- but they're still pretty darned good. Recommended.
The author's website, terrybisson[dot]com, is well worth a visit, and has several free stories, if you're new to Bisson. Happy reading-- Peter D. Tillman

This review is from: Numbers Don't Lie (Paperback)
This was the type of book that drew me into science fiction in the first place. It ranks up there with Heinlein's juveniles. And I mean that as high praise. The only thing juvenile about that famous series of novels was that they avoided sex and extreme violence.
