4.0 étoiles sur 5 Complicated But Well-Written Stories 28 décembre 2001
Par Jon G. Jackson - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
I'm another dyed-in-the-wool Waldrop fan. If you search elsewhere, you'll see that I've reviewed another of his books with very high praise. But this one has troubled me somewhat. Some of the stories are utterly remarkable, with some truly outstanding writing. Well, *all* of them are quite well-written, researched to the hilt, and then laid out for the reader to grapple with. And grapple we do.

I can't help but compare this Waldrop with the one I met in 1988. This one is far more cynical. This one has withdrawn into his own interests completely. This one is much harder to relate to. If anything, he's an even better writer than he was before. (When you do get what he's writing about, it's a knock-out blow!) Perhaps I should say, he's more eccentric?

But, I think I agree with another reviewer here, in that I wondered several times...WHY was this story written? Does it stand alone, if one is unfamiliar with the research? Some of them do, yes! Others maybe do, maybe don't. Still, his senarios remain completely convincing, and one feels compelled to see them through. Overall, well worth the read (definitely!), but not as classic as his earlier stuff.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Buy it before it vanishes forever! 17 juillet 1998
Par Nick Mamatas - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
Howard Waldrop's latest collection of "alternate reality" SF defies all convention. His "what if the Nazis won WWII" story brings Shemp Howard, Zero Mostel, Peter Lorre and Brecht's widow together in an absurdist play about a journey to Mars, the Red planet. Fats Waller and Tom Wolfe hang out on a dirigible. Three Mexican luchadors fight off ancient Aztec gods. That's just the beginning. Each story also has an afterword which also solves the riddle of the alternate reality and gives an insight into Waldrop's writing process. Waldrop's books never hang around the stores for long (he has about $6 in his bank account) and his stuff can be shelved under Science Fiction, Literature or anything else. I found my copy under Hunting/Fishing. Buy it on-line before it disappears!

5.0 étoiles sur 5 New Collection From an American Treasure 24 août 1998
Par Un client - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
Howard Waldrop is an American treasure, and like most, seriously overlooked. Although considered a "science fiction" writer, Waldrop isn't so easily categorized (a likely reason for his not being well-marketed). Anyone who has read and enjoyed the works of Kim Newman, Christopher Moore, Bradley Denton, William Browning Spencer and Terry Bisson will find something to like in Howard Waldrop and "Going Home Again" is a good place to start. Actually, it's the _only_ place to start unless you search for the classic, but sadly out of print, collections such as "Howard Who?", "Night of the Cooters" and "Strange Monsters of the Recent Past." Get this one now before it joins those titles.
