From Booklist
The inimitable Waldrop, an authentic master of gonzo sf and fantasy, returns with some of his most recent short fiction, along with notes that enlighten about the transformation in sf markets as they move from paper to the Web, and imply that Waldrop has traveled extensively, at least if the number of places he movingly portrays accurately suggests personal knowledge. The collection-opening "Dynasters" takes its departure from the idea that Piltdown Man really existed. The title story features Christopher Marlowe and ice festivals on the Thames. "Winter Quarters" delves deeply into the extinction of the mammoth. "The Other Real World" is such a rich exploration of 1950s popular culture that it needs many pages of footnotes, and "D=R X T" may be the only sf story about pedal cars. There is only one Howard Waldrop, and he is quite as irresistible as ever, at least in small doses (it is probably just as well for his reputation that he isn't a novelist). Roland Green

From Publishers Weekly
World Fantasy Award–winner Waldrop (Custer's Last Jump) offers 10 quirky, sometimes outrageous speculative stories in this wise and funny collection, each with a lively and informative afterword. If J.D. Salinger had written SF, Holden Caulfield would have been one of the gang in "The Other Real World," a teenage view of the Cuban missile crisis with a more somber outcome than the actual one. "The Dynasters" imagines an unusual scenario in which the phony Piltdown Man (and Piltdown Woman) are real. A three-headed robot in the offbeat "Our Mortal Span" runs into trouble in a theme park called Story Book Land when he takes fairy tales too seriously. In the marvelous title story, about playwright Christopher Marlowe, "Will Shaxper" is only a bit player. "Us," a gripping tale of alternative history, explores the possibilities had Charles Lindbergh Jr. lived. Waldrop is a razzle-dazzle hoot. (Apr. 25)
