Description:
Revised introduction by George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire): "If this is your first taste of Howard, I envy you. Bet you can't read just one."
Waldrop has a capacious, encyclopedic knowledge of superheroes, baseball players, Mexican wrestlers, world wars, long-dead film stars, oddball television shows, pulp serials, radio plays, fairy tales, scientific expeditions, extinct species, and knock-knock jokes. His stories are sophisticated, magical recombinations of the stuff that our pop-culture dreams are made of.
Never published in paperback, long out of print, and extremely collectible, Howard Who? was Waldrop's seminal debut collection. If you haven't read Waldrop before, you're in for a treat.
