Blish J. Anywhen / James Blish. — First edition. — Garden City, NY : Doubley & Company, Inc., 1970. — 168 p.
Анотація: This is a strange, compelling collection of seven short stories about the Universe and some of its oddities. The stories, all written during the 1960s, are carefully presented and never allow one to lose sight of the humanity behind each circumstance. A STYLE IN TREASON presents a future in which treason has been organized to supplant diplomacy. In a believable and understated manner THE WRITING OF THE RAT demonstrates man’s place in the Universe. AND SOME WERE SAVAGES is a rationale of why we sterilize space vehicles and why we should continue to do so. With fantastic overtones, NONE SO BLIND is an almost straight description of the world of the blind. No JOKES ON MARS tells of blackmail and efforts to conserve life. Sanitation, or lack of it, is the basis for A DUSK OF IDOLS and in How BEAUTIFUL WITH BANNERS, a dedicated scientist is caught between new life and old and unwittingly is the core of revolution.
