Eleven outrageous tales of pasts and futures, aliens and Earthlings, humors and horrors. The general theme of this collection is an ironic and sometimes bitter comment on man's stupidity to man. But Tenn's humor is irrepressible and bursts forth in a joyous political satire on the wars of the sexes titled "The Masculinist Revolt", which may yet bring codpieces back into fashion.
