Early stories showing a lot more of their seams than his later work. He became more of a shower than the teller of this collection (e.g., a story about how indenturing/enslaving aliens blocks technological progress includes a character explaining exactly this); telling isn’t inherently bad, but I like the longer/later stuff better. Many short story collections clock in well under 300 pages. Tides is a healthy 483, and nothing really feels just like filler. There’s plenty here that show literary muscles being flexed in preparation for the novels he wrote later, and not always where you’d suspect. In his novels, I can see echos of “Death’s Dreadlocks” and “Something in the Rock,” neither even vaguely science fiction. It’s great to see a writer I’ve come to associate so strongly with science fiction tackle the rest of speculative fiction, particularly when the genres get mixed subtlety and/or creatively, as in “Her,” “In Orbite Medievali,” “Tides,” and “A Green Thumb.” I’d totally read an urban fantasy series based on the character/setting of “Four Eyes.” For more on the individual stories: http://mentatjack.com/2009/05/04/review-tides-from-the-new-worlds-by-tobias-buck... aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Caribbean born novelist Tobias Buckell established himself as a gifted new voice in science fiction with his stunning first novel Crystal Rain. Now, in his first collection, Buckell demonstrates his strengths in the short form, offering readers a collection of stories that are compelling, smart, wonderfully imagined, and entertaining. Tides from the New Worlds contains 19 stories that range from multicultural science fiction to magical realism, some in print for the first time. The full list of narrators includes Prentice Onayemi, Jay Snyder, and Brian Nishi. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
