But there it is. (I'm going to re-read Doorways soon and maybe I'll have something at least halfway intelligent to contribute then.) But I just bought MIT Technology Review SF Annual--2014: Twelve Tomorrows, edited by Bruce Sterling, mostly because it includes a feature of John Schoenherr's artwork on glossy paper. Schoenherr did the Analog cover for the original publication of Doorways in the Sand, and it's OK, but I've never been particularly fond of it. But Twelve Tomorrows includes an alternate, completely different cover that wasn't used, and it's awesome! No idea why it wasn't used. My first impression is that it illustrates Fred and the Rhennius machine -- I'll check that on the re-read -- but whatever, it's Groovistica. Worth the $12.95 for the MIT book.Chris DeVitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954514417222660623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-61998328820626630792013-03-10T09:00:22.437-04:002013-03-10T09:00:22.437-04:00I like Starless, and I sometimes wonder how much o...I like Starless, and I sometimes wonder how much of that fond sentiment is attributable to the fact that it strikes me as atypical for a Zelazny story, that is, I like it simply because it different from what he usually writes. I wonder how I would received it had it been written by another author about whom I had no particular opinions.Jugularjoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768939120752611597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-39579868831087314452013-03-09T21:46:46.198-05:002013-03-09T21:46:46.198-05:00I don't think "Go Starless..." deser...I don't think "Go Starless..." deserves its largely indifferent reputation. I find it one of the most eerie and beautiful of Zelazny's short stories. Definitely in my top ten.<br /><br />Doorways isn't too bad, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
