Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: The Image Bank (illustrator). 1990 Edition. © 1984: A collection of 11 short stories by Frederik Pohl. 1st printing of 1990 edition:- Contents: The Sweet, Sad Queen Of The Grazing Isles / The High Test / Spending A Day At The Lottery Fair / Second Coming / Enjoy, Enjoy / Growing Up In Edge City / We Purchased People / Rem The Rememberer / The Mother Trip / A Day In The Life Of Able Charlie / The Way It Was:- Synopsis: In his novels, including the award-winning 'Gateway' and 'The Years Of The City', Fred Pohl established himself as a superb craftsman. With this collection he reveals a multifaceted talent to heighten that reputation. Ranging from the light-hearted 'The High Test', in which human wit triumphs over awesome alien aggression, to the brutally grim, with the slavery depicted in 'We Purchased People', Fred Pohl brilliantly illustrates futures bizarre but all too believable:- Review(s): "For fifty years his writing has been lucid, sensitive and witty. In 'Pohlstars' he is still doing what he has always done best, fabricating absurd systems and predicaments, chilling and comic by turns, around characters observed with sympathy even if they are psychotic murderers" - Times Literary Supplement / "By the master of dystopic visions, Fred Pohl. Versatility of themes and treatments is his trade mark" - Tribune / "The touch of the master-craftsman" - The Scotsman:- (original cost £3.50). Seller Inventory # 12.007.00001
