Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-30 00:00:00 Patricia Behnke I read this years ago. As is usual with SF compilations, I find that some are very good, others I have totally forgotten. Three of the best in this collection, which are five stars, are: Clifford D. Simak "Grotto of the dancing deer"; L. Sprague de Camp, "Aristotle and the gun"; and, Jack Williamson, "With folded hands".

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-29 00:00:00 Griselda Izmajtovich An anthology of three novellas, overall this is a fine, thought-inspiring collection. Silverberg's contribution is a playing-out of one man's survivor's guilt, and intentionally blurs the lines between that which is "real"and that which is "imagined." It is vague on purpose, and is a good rumination. Zelazny's is classic Zelazny: a convoluted puzzle with a cavalier narrator, references to music, literature, and other cultures abound, and there's a neat gotcha at the end. Entertaining. Pangborn again delivers what he did so well: a beautifully written, elegaic, and likely prophetic emotional gut-punch. Not a perfect collection, and not exactly happy-go-lucky fare, but the metaphysical meets the physical in all three. Give it a read.
