4.0 out of 5 stars A Darker, Meaner Ellison, July 24, 2000
This review is from: Slippage: Precariously Poised, Previously Uncollected Stories (Hardcover)
In this recent collection, Mr. Ellsion delves into the arbitrary and ambivalent nature of fate. With stories like "Mephisto in Onyx", and "The Man who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore", he paints a bleaker, meaner picture of human nature, and he manages to very nicely to both entertain, as well as provoke.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Darker, Older View, July 21, 2000
This review is from: Slippage: Precariously Poised, Previously Uncollected Stories (Hardcover)
Mr. Ellison, in this collection of short fiction, discusses thoughts of mortality in these tales displaying the indifference and ambivalence of fate. "The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore", and "Mephisto in Onyx" highlight an more intense, darker vision. Ellison hasn't lost his touch.
