It is perhaps a mixed bag, but some of these well-written stories are truly gripping. Most of them centre around ''obsessional'' problems and the various ways people are coping with them. The mood alternates between grim and sad, only a few have a lighter tone and are not among the best. It gets very sad in Little Red Schoolhouse, a succesful mixture of a critical view on future (= current) educational practice and the struggle of a child with its emotional environment. The heroics of Granite goddess are very credible too. Here a man climbs a giant scuplture of a woman (on another planet) that in his innermost has taken the place of his wife. Again, inner struggle and adverse circumstances match excellently. Hilarious is Romance in a twenty-first century used-car lot, where people wear cars instead of clothes. The shy and demure Arabella is an unlikely protagonist that both moves and appears slightly ridiculous. Most gripping story: the true love across seemingly unpassable barriers of time, as told in The dandelion girl. Certainly worth picking up for the above examples. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Contiene
The worlds of Robert F. Young are unlike any others, and they are all stamped with the hallmark of excellence that is distinctively his own. Some of these worlds are strange and alien, distant in time and space; some are as familiar as your own back yard -- so close you can reach out and touch them. But be careful! They all contain unlooked-for surprises: what you expect to happen never does. These are tales of the unexpected. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
