For each surprisingly good story, like <i>Vintage Season</i> or "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" or the two I talk about in this post, I encounter a surprisingly weak one, like <i>Well of the Worlds</i> or all those comedy stories about a drunk inventor and his annoying robot.

Wow, what a resource!<br /><br />Kuttner and Moore also published under the pseudonym Lewis Padgett, under which they published one of my favorite classic SF stories, "Mimsy Were the Borogoves"--oft referred to as one of the great golden age stories and also made into an insufficiently intelligent movie, "The Last Mimsy." <br /><br />From the setup of "Home is the Hunter," I have to wonder if Kuttner and Moor were aware of Cordwainer Smith and visa versa.

It made the Locus all-time list. I haven't read it, but I have it in an anthology somewhere, and I'm curious whether it's a good starting point to Kuttner/Moore's work.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796098208589965362noreply@blogger.com
