![]() ![]() I’ve read maybe 5 or 6 books of his so far, ALL of them diamonds. That’s what I intend to do in the coming months, anyway. If you like speculative fiction and you haven’t read Silverberg yet, I kindly suggest you drop everything you’re reading and dive into his entire body of work. There, I said it, and I’ll say it again: as far as science fiction stories go, Star Wars really sucks. which is a problem with SF as a category: how can you even compare “Star Wars” to Silverberg ? And yet, they both fall in the SF bucket, even if Star Wars is to Silverberg what “Fifty Shades of Grey” is to Ian McEwan or Philip Roth. These are stories that fully transcend the genre. The vivid power of them, the nuclear-bomb imagination, the intelligence, the depth. ![]()
