A provocative collection of stories by science fiction's finest, including Samuel R. Delany, Kate Wilhelm, Harlan Ellison, Ursula K. LeGuin, and many others.

This classic is an invaluable book for anyone interested in the art and craft of science fiction writing.

As informative a look behind the scenes as you're ever likely to see. It's a 'must read' for aspiring science-fiction writers, and excellent for beginning writers of any kind. -- Peter Nicholls, co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
