"e;Variety is the soul of pleasure,"e; And variety is what this comprehensive new collection of Connie Willis is all about. The stories cover the entire spectrum, from sad to sparkling to terrifying, from classics to hard-to-find treasures with everything in between - orangutans, Egypt, earthworms, roast goose, college professors, mothers-in-law, aliens, secret codes, Secret Santas, tube stations, choir practice, the post office, the green light on Daisy's dock, weddings, divorces, death, and assorted plagues, from scarlet fever to "e;It's a Wonderful Life."e; And a dog.Famous for her "e;sure-hand plotting, unforgettable characters, and top-notch writing,"e; Willis has been called, "e;the most relentlessly delightful science fiction writer alive,"e; and there are numerous examples here. Among them, Willis's most famous stories - the Hugo- and Nebula-Award-winning "e;Fire Watch"e; and "e;Even the Queen"e; and "e;The Last of the Winnebagos"e; - along with undiscovered gems like Willis's heartfelt homage to Jack Williamson, "e;Nonstop to Portales."e; Her magical Christmas stories are here, too, from "e;Newsletter"e; to "e;Just Like the Ones We Used to Know..."e; which last year was made into the TV movie, Snow Wonder, starring Mary Tyler Moore.We've collected stories from throughout Willis's career, from early ones like "e;Cash Crop"e; and "e;Daisy, in the Sun,"e; right up to her newest stories, including the wonderful "e;The Winds of Marble Arch."e; There's literally something for everyone here. If you're a diehard Willis fan, you'll be delighted with hard-to-find treasures like the until-now uncollected, "e;The Soul Selects Her Own Society..."e; If you've never read Connie Willis, this is your chance to discover "e;A Letter from the Clearys"e; and, well, "e;Chance."e; To say nothing of, "e;At the Rialto,"e; the funniest story ever written about quantum physicists. And Willis's chilling, "e;All My Darling Daughters."e;And...oh, there are too many great stories here to list and pleasures galore. So enjoy!
