Riassunto

Eighteen visionary stories from one of the most original and singular voices in science fiction and fantasy.

R. A. Lafferty stands apart even among the giants of speculative fiction. A winner of both the Hugo Award and the World Fantasy Award, and a six-time Nebula Award nominee, he created stories that defy expectation at every turn—where time bends, reality fractures, and the ordinary world opens suddenly onto the cosmic and the surreal.

Collected here are eighteen of his most distinctive tales, each marked by Lafferty’s unmistakable voice: exuberant, philosophical, mischievous, and deeply imaginative. His fiction moves effortlessly from tall-tale humor to metaphysical speculation, from absurdity to revelation, often within the span of just a few pages. Beneath the playfulness lies a serious engagement with time, identity, myth, and the nature of existence itself.

Influential, unclassifiable, and enduringly original, Lafferty’s work continues to challenge and inspire readers across generations. This Positronic Super Pack gathers a wide range of his short fiction into a single expansive volume—an essential collection for those who seek science fiction and fantasy at their most inventive and unexpected.
