A Golden Way to Best Sci-fi from the Fifties!,
By
This review is from: A Way Home (Mass Market Paperback)
Theodore Sturgeon (1918-1985) was a short stories master writer. Here we have a very representative collection, re-edited from older versions, still it is a pity that all of them are out of print; yet do not dismay all his stories has been recently published again!Sturgeon's stories were always captivating, hooking the reader from the first sentence as occurs in "Hurricane Trio". This tale contains all the traits of Theodore's wit: the nucleus of the story is based on human emotions; the exotic component is just a small touch to enhance dramatic possibilities. The author cast a keen regard on human love and the classic trio shearing his thoughts with the reader and at the same time giving light to a gem. One topic that obsessed sci-fi writers was an imminent atomic holocaust as is shown from different optics in "Unite and Conquer" and "Thunder and Roses". "The Hurkel is a Happy Beast" is a comic piece portraying the always conflictive teacher-pupil relationship. "Mewhu's Jet" and "Tiny and the Monster" are also written in comedy clue. "Bulkhead" aka "Who?" is more in a classic juvenile sci-fi story style solved efficiently by Sturgeon. Last but not least the story that gives name to the collection "Way Home" tells the story of a kid running away suddenly faced with different mirrors. I wholeheartedly recommend this collection to sci-fi lovers and general public! Reviewed by Max Yofre.
