Szczesuil, a member of the New England Science Fiction Association, here compiles all of Kornbluth's solo and pseudonymous works published in the pulp magazines. The 56 stories are full of Kornbluth's cynicism and abrasive wit. Regrettably, they are not chronologically arranged, obscuring Kornbluth's development as a writer. Still, this is highly recommended.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
Kornbluth (1923^-58), one of the grand figures in American science fiction, began writing prolifically for the pulps and matured into one of the most thought-provoking writers of the 1950s. This delightfully hefty tome includes all the short fiction he wrote alone, which means some good work is excluded, since he collaborated widely. But most of the collaborations are available elsewhere, and what is here is the work of a writer who had no peer in sf for examining the human condition in a multitude of moods (and under a multitude of pseudonyms), from the inspired wackiness of "The Advent on Channel Twelve" to the troubled and murky ethical pondering of "Two Dooms." Yet more delightful, at least to the aficionado and the completist, is the inclusion of early professional hackwork, which allows comparison of quick work done to an editor's requirements and the achievements of the same writer producing at the height of his considerable powers. A welcome addition to sf library collections. Dennis Winters
