Publishers Weekly on Neal Barrett, Jr.
Now that Neal Barrett's 500+ page career retrospective, Other Seasons, is nestled safely at the printer, the reviews are starting to appear. You may rememer a few weeks ago that Locus gave it a rave.
The praise comes this time comes from Publishers Weekly:
This retrospective collection from Barrett, who was recently named author emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, includes 28 short stories with original publication dates that span almost half a century, both following the development of a master wordsmith and chronicling the evolution of speculative fiction as it blurs into the mainstream… Readers who enjoy insightful and visionary fiction will cherish Barrett’s oblique writing style, as will anyone who has an interest in the history of the genre.
