Reviews

Here Comes Civilization: The Complete Science Fiction of William Tenn, Volume II, edited by James A. Mann and Mary C. Tabasko, celebrates the achievement of a preeminent SF author of the 1950s. With numerous stories published for the first time since their initial appearance in magazines, the complete body of Tenn's only novel and an analytic essay, this second volume should receive as much praise as the first, Immodest Proposals.
Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Sf veteran Tenn needs no introduction to fans who have read at all deeply in the genre. His is one of the finest bodies of short fiction in the field. Perhaps a newcomer should first try classics like "Bernie the Faust," "Betelgeuse Bridge," "Everybody Loves Irving Bommer," "She Only Goes Out at Night," and "Firgleflip." For readers accustomed to longer pieces, of which Tenn wrote very few, here at least are A Lamp for Medusa and Of Men and Monsters. Those of a scholarly bent will appreciate "On the Fiction in Science Fiction," as well as essays on Tenn by his colleagues Robert Silverberg and George Zebrowski, both of whom hold out the hope that the nonagenarian Tenn will finish another novel. Even if he doesn't, the contents of this volume and Immodest Proposals [BKL Ap 15 01] deserve a permanent place in sf history and on the shelves of sf collections. Roland Green
