Far from Home

"SF writing of a rare quality" lifts this collection of stories from the renowned author of The Hustler and The Man Who Fell to Earth ( Time Out).   The author of the competitive pool thriller The Hustler and the groundbreaking sci-fi novel The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walter Tevis was also a master of the short story. His work was published in Playboy, Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and many other magazines. This anthology collects some of his best short work. Full of wit, surprise, dark humor, and deep emotion, these stories pack a punch—and are ideal for fans of his longer work or those looking for an introduction to one of America's most iconic sci-fi writers.   "The poetic imprints of a fine writer's trail." — The Times (London)
