by Terry Bisson ~
From the award-winning author of "Bears Discover Fire," one of the most anthologized American short stories of the last decade, this is a collection of stories that originally appeared in sources as diverse as Asimov's SF, Playboy, and Crank! They are clever, slick, occasionally profound, and have a broad appeal.

Terry Bisson may be using the fantastic genres as a mode, as do Kurt Vonnegut or Harlan Ellison, but like them he is one of the strikingly original voices in short fiction today, with an audience that transcends genre. Bisson writes entertaining and moving stories, in a strong and unique voice.
