Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. The older I get the less I like short stories, but these weren't too bad. The Term Paper Artist and the interview with the author were my two favorite. The other stories were alright. ( ) Another in PM Press's Outspoken Authors series, [The Planetbreaker's Son] is a short book featuring samples of the author's work plus an interview and bibliography. The title novella concerns the doings of people who exist as software in an interstellar spacecraft. The planetbreaker has a job judging the simulated "worlds" in the craft, and destroying those he finds unsuitable. He has difficult relationships with his parents, his wife, and his son, played in the key of Greek-American culture - Mamatas's own background. A bit different from his usual Lovecraftian focus, and didn't quite gel for me. "Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring" has a woman talking to the dead over a "Ouija phone"; she gets a murderous assignment from a dead ex. The interview is ably handled by [[Terry Bisson]] - Mamatas is an interesting man. The best is "The Term Paper Artist", Mamatas's memoir of his years ghostwriting for a term paper mill. If you still have some respect for your fellow Americans, this item will get rid of that for you, once you reflect that you meet his customers out in the working world all the time. I rated this three stars because I enjoyed the short story "Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring" and the interview as well as the piece on term papers were entertaining. I however did not finish the novella which forms two thirds of this book and gives it its title, as it couldn't hold my interest. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

He walks the stars embedded in the virtual dome of night and, when he tires of a world, throws a small black stone over his shoulder - and entire societies blink out of existence. Meanwhile, in 'The Strange Case Of,' Mamatas gleefully blinks sentimental, shopworn ideas out of easy acceptance. But listen. That 'Ring, Ring, Ring' (and so forth) you hear is the dreaded ouija phone connecting the living with the dead. And it's for you. Of course we include our predictably unpredictable, outrageously rageous Outspoken Interview with Mamatas. Also for you. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
