He ...Howard writes pretty much just short fiction. He never repeats himself, no series or sequels. Michael Dirda commented "You never know what he'll come up with next, but somehow it's always a Waldrop story. Read the work of this wonderful writer, a man who has devoted his life to his art -- and to fishing."<br /><br />Check out the loooong review "Things Will Never Be The Same" by Michael Dirda - it's reprinted in the Amazon listing for the book. It was a full page review in the Washington Post Book World.<br /><br />Ad if you like longer stories, I also published "Other Worlds, Better Lives: Selected Long Fiction, 1989-2003". Howard wanted "The Other Real World" included and I wanted "You <i>Could</i> Go Home Again". The other stories are real good too!<br /><br />As a reward for publishing these two volumes I won a World Fantasy Award.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232587701699536350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-80328958005171870462012-07-16T21:55:24.769-07:002012-07-16T21:55:24.769-07:00Michael, thanks for the comment, and too for the b...Michael, thanks for the comment, and too for the book pointers. I had on my list to go chase down more of his fiction, you've saved me a lot of reading between the lines on Amazon reviews. After a quick re-read of the story I find I really love his prose style. What kind of range does he have?Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865607115402870492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-85019861400458518802012-07-16T21:08:47.367-07:002012-07-16T21:08:47.367-07:00Yeah, the link rotted.

An I reprinted it in Howard's "Things Will Never Be The Same: Selected Short Fiction, 1980 - 2005"<br /><br />Both books contain great Waldrop stories - do yourself a favor and read more Waldrop!<br /><br />And since Howard doesn't do email or anything else replated to computers, it would only be appropriate to read in the dead tree version, no? <br /><br /> -- Michael WalshUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232587701699536350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-55098809409536793062012-07-16T01:50:15.513-07:002012-07-16T01:50:15.513-07:00Wow.
