Summary
Few authors have had careers as successful as that of
Connie Willis. Inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame
and recently awarded the title of Grand Master by the Science
Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Willis is still going
strong. Her smart, heartfelt fiction runs the gamut from
screwball comedy to profound tragedy, combining dazzling plot
twists, cutting-edge science, and unforgettable characters.
A Letter from the Clearys, 1983 Short Story Nebula
Award
SF Masterworks #124
From a near future mourning the extinction of dogs to
an alternate history in which invading aliens were defeated
by none other than Emily Dickinson; from a madcap convention
of bumbling quantum physicists in Hollywood to a London whose
Underground has become a storehouse of intangible memories
both foul and fair--here are the greatest stories of one of
the greatest writers working in any genre today.
All ten of the stories gathered here are Hugo or
Nebula award winners - some even have the distinction of
winning both.
