Shiva and Other Stories by Barry N. Malzberg
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 398 KB
Overview: Twenty-two tales by a mythologist for the new millennium, Shiva and Other Stories brings together some of Malzberg’s finest work from the ’80s and the ’90s, including many stories featured in major Year’s Best anthologies. From pragmatists like Huey “Kingfish” Long, who plays human nature like a pat-hand of cards to win the presidency and then deal with a punk named Adolf Hitler, to soulless bureaucrats, to a long parade of recalcitrant dreamers who tragically attempt to impose fantasy on unyielding reality, Malzberg shows that neither super-science nor djinni magic can prevail against human folly. At the same time, he’s very funny. A time traveler must face the idea that he may have committed a serious crime against his alternate selves. A moralist puts his indignation ahead of his survival instinct, again, and again, and again; a detective investigates the murder of the 20th Century itself. This is a wry and brilliant collection by one of the greatest social critics in science fiction.
