This area of Ellison Webderland represents my most ambitious and possibly
hubritic undertaking to date. Here you should eventually find a brief synopsis
and commentary for every short story in one of HE's collections. As I and
the review team progress, I will also collect a listing of short stories both
by collection and alphabetically, and provide a page with all the information
on the collected review pages placed together for searching.
Each review (so far) has a header with cover art, publication information,
and a link to the page for the book on Michael Zuzel's Islets of Langerhans
web site. After this comes a story list and comments on the book as a whole.
Finally, each story is described with a brief synopsis, followed by a more
specific review and commentary.
Important Note: Each synopsis should give a brief description
of what the story is about, and will to some extent give the story away. We
will try where possible not to reveal the meat or the ending of the story.
For the commentary, though, all bets are off. This will be your only spoiler
warning.
