This collection from Grand Master Robert A. Heinlein includes five short stories sure to please science fiction fans everywhere. The title story tells the tale of a young man who meets a time-traveling bartender whose origins--and relation to the young man--are more complex and stranger than the Ouroboros ring on the barkeep's finger. In ''The Man Who Traveled in Elephants'' --one of both Heinlein and Spider Robinson's all-time favorite stories-- we join a former traveling salesman on a bus. The man and his wife had once traveled with a host of imaginary animals searching for places to sell elephants. ''They-'' takes listeners inside a mental institution, where a man suffering from delusions has been confined. In ''Our Fair City'', a parking attendant named Pappy, a sentient whirlwind named Kitten, and a crusading reporter named Pete aim to take down their corrupt city government. Lastly, in ''-And He Built a Crooked House,'' a clever architect designs a house in the shape of the shadow of a tesseract, but it collapses through the fourth dimension when an earthquake shakes it into a more stable form.
