Mar. 28th, 2009 05:54 pmThe Collected Short Fiction of C.J. Cherryh
C.J. Cherryh is known primarily as a long form writer β in a long career of writing mainly well-regarded novels, she has only published enough short fiction to fill one, admittedly thick, volume β and fully a third of those are related short stories from a themed short story collection originally published in 1981 as Sunfall, set in the cities of an unimaginably old Earth, where only those who cannot bear to leave their planetary home remain. The remaining stories bear publication dates ranging from 1979 to 2004 β occasional pieces scattered throughout the working life of a major writer of SFF, all different, and all interesting. Itβs a good collection to own.
