THE ESSENTIAL JACK DANN Jack Dann is the award-winning, bestselling author of some of the most distinguished work in modern science fiction and fantasy, including the classic novels The Man who Melted and The Memory Cathedral. But Dann is also the author of some of the most memorable short fiction of the last twenty-five years. Here is a generous helping of some of his best work, from "The Diamond Pit," a cautionary tale of the corrupting effects of wealth, to the Nebula Award-winning "Da Vinci Rising." This collection showcases Dann's originality, range, and narrative power, and demonstrates why critics have compared his work to that of Jorge Luis Borges, Roald Dahl, J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, and others. Simply, Jack Dann is a master storyteller.

He's that good." --ROGER ZELAZNY "The seventeen stories in this volume indicate why Dann has been a conspicuous figure in literary SF for more than a generation. . . .
