Articoli correlati a Songs of Leaving
Crowther s collection opens with a magnificent homage to Ray Bradbury, Some Burial Place, vast and Dry (the title is one of several references to Whitman), in which the last survivor of a lost colony remembers his home and is visited by it. Despite that tough first act, the quality of what follows remains consistent. These lovely and thoughtful stories are speculative fiction at pretty much its best, conjuring self-contained worlds that for all the stories brevity, teem with life.
