Reception
Publishers Weekly calls Delany's introduction "illuminating", assessing Ellison's piece as "an affecting fantasy", the Robinsons' as an "examination of the art of dance and communication," Sheldon's as "a chilling answer to the human question," McIntyre's as "unforgettable," Bryant's as striking "a delicate balance between the personal and the cosmic," and Varley's as "a pounding and original time travel story." The book is summed up as "[a]ll in all, a winning anthology." [3]
Carolyn F. Ruffin in The Christian Science Monitor , notes that "[g]ood science fiction spooks, startles, or awes," and that three stories in the anthology accomplish the first, two the second and one the third. With a nod to Delany's contention in the introduction that "the stories reflect a current trend in science fiction away from 'interest in physics and cosmology ... toward biology,'" she feels "[t]he effect ... is to heighten the impact of the writing." While praising all the selections, she singles "Stardance" out as "among the best in science fiction," a story that "puts one in awe." [4]
The book was also reviewed by Theodore Sturgeon in Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone Magazine , December 1981, and Mary Gentle in Paperback Inferno, v. 5, no. 5, April 1982. [1]
