tome15's review against another edition
4.0
This is an excellent set of short stories that belies Sturgeon's pronouncement that 99 percent of all genre fiction is crap and executes brilliantly his other dictum--that good writing and good thinking require us always to "ask the next question." It always amazes me how many of my friends who read science fiction regularly don't remember his work. He should be, and in my mind is, one of science fiction's pantheon along with Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Niven, and Bradbury.

Much of Sturgeon's later output was of middling quality, but this volume does include some great stories - notably "Slow Sculpture" and "The Girl Who Knew What They Meant."
