Asimov, Isaac: Cosmic Critiques

Imagine, a Writer’s Digest book that doesn’t suck! No wonder it’s out of print. Asimov and Greenberg present ten short science fiction tales, each of which is followed by Ansen Dibell’s explicit examples of what makes each succeed as fiction. While not every story included is a classic, all are memorable, excellent illustrations of Dibell’s points. Stand-outs are “Transstar” by Raymond E. Banks, “Billenium,” by J.G. Ballard, “The Last Question,” by Isaac Asimov, “Dial F for Frankenstein,” by Arthur C. Clarke, and “Carcinoma Angels,” by Norman Spinrad.
