Description: AN EXALTATION OF STARSAn anthology of three novellasEditor: Terry CarrSimon & Schuster (1973)BCE 5790 Condition: VERY GOOD BOOK (old price mark on front flyleaf), with GOOD jacket that has some shelfwear. Contents:Introduction by Terry CarrThe Feast of St. Dionysus by Robert Silverberg'Kjwalll'kje'k'koothaïlll'kje'k (Nemo) by Roger ZelaznyMy Brother Leopold (Tales of a Darkening World) by Edgar Pangborn Commentaries on line: 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. Terry Carr edited this 1973 collection, consisting of three novellas dealing with transcendental/religious science fictional experiences. One is readable, one is worth reading, and one is pretty dang good. To be honest, I started reading this book so I could satisfy myself I could get rid of it. Well, now I can't. It's going into my permanent collection now. ______________________(I'll always combine shipping costs and refund any excess shipping charges for multiple-copy book orders.)For all "buy it now" items, please use ADD TO CART if you plan to order more than one item at the same time.______________ WOW!
