57th Franz Kafka

Summary: Fantastic Collection of Rucker short stories!
Review: This fabulous book of short stories is a must have for all those who are true Rucker fans. 57th Franz Kafka contains dozens of short stories most of which were originally published in various Sci-Fi magazines at some point in the 70's or 80's. For fans of "Master of Space and Time", this book contains numerous stories about the same two main characters. I found this book of the similar integrity as "White Light". For those who did not like the 'ware series that much, this (as well as White Light) may be more your speed. Some of the short stories involve complicated mathematical concepts (big suprise!) or familar fables such as a revisitation of Flatland! If you can locate this book, I would HIGHLY recommend getting it.

Review: This is a great collection of short stories by Rudy v.b. Rucker and his math-embedded writing style. If you are not a collector looking for '57th' and are just interested in the stories, see Gnarl!, a recent (Apr 2000) collection of Rucker's short stories which include many from '57th.'
