Over dit e-boek
From the author of Make Room! Make Room!: A celebratory collection of fifty science fiction stories for each of his first fifty years as a professional writer.
From his first sale in 1950 on, Harry Harrison has been one of the science fiction world’s creative dynamos, working in every subgenre of the field, always bursting with provocative ideas. Parodic one moment, serious the next, Harrison has been called by Brian Aldiss “one of the few authors capable of carrying the old vigor of earlier days forward into a new epoch.”
On the occasion of his fiftieth anniversary as a professional writer, Harrison has gathered together fifty of his best stories-one for each year-along with substantial notes and introductory material. 50 in 50 is at once a memoir, a compendium of an engaging body of work, and a look at the history of science fiction in the second half of the twentieth century.
Praise for 50 in 50
“Here’s the definitive selection of the prolific and popular Harrison’s short fiction. . . . Harrison has written well, even magnificently.” —Booklist
“Long overdue . . . Alternately thrilling and pensive, scary and hilarious, angry and accepting, Harrison’s fictions constitute one of the main monuments in modern SF.” —Paul Di Filippo, Scifi.com
