5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best short-story writers in Speculative Fiction!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Skirmish: The great short fiction of Clifford D. Simak (Hardcover)
The Big Front Yard is the best (in my subjective opinion) SF short story ever! Skirmish is way up there, too! Mr. Simak is a great writer and describer of human idiosyncracies. He represents an alternative to "in-your-face" factoid reporting, to the less-than-subtle writers so prevalent in this day and age of laxity in education. For more in this vein, read Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons" and "The Space Merchants" -- more thoughtful Speculative Fiction (a/k/a SF) from one of the most thoughtful of authors. Luckily for us, Mr. Simak lived a long, full life; Mr. Kornbluth, however, left this world in his 30s, way before his time!
