Publisher's Summary

From the moment John Varley burst onto the scene in 1974, his short fiction was like nothing anyone else was writing. His stories won every award the science fiction field had to offer, many times over. His first collection, The Persistence of Vision, published in 1978, was the most important collection of the decade and changed what fans would come to expect from science fiction.

Now, The John Varley Reader gathers his best stories, many out of print for years. This is the volume no Varley fan - or science-fiction fan - can do without.

tedious and uncomfortable at times

a preponderance of pedeophilic references make this collection turn unenjoyable. I stopped listening halfway through as a result. Really got tired of hearing a male fantasize or try to rationalize their attraction to 8 and 13 year olds. As a result have lost all interest in reading any more of his work.
