Intriguing tales that GRIP the imaginationBy Hank SchwartzI don't usually turn to short stories for a good read, but I was completely fascinated and satisfied by this collection of 11 tales and 4 story poems.Haldeman's unbounded imagination has yielded a variety of most curious beings and circumstances, augmented by many of his personal experiences that sparked or helped to form these vignettes.I appreciated the biographical insights that he provided in his introduction and in the brief addenda that follow each piece.Some short, some quite long, but each one a thought provoker with haunting images that will continue to pull at you after you believed that you'd laid this one down.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very dissapointed.By rsnoozeI read "The Accidental Time Machine" by Joe Haldeman and enjoyed it. I bought this thinking it would be as good. I turned out to be very bland ad boring.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good collection of stories and a great batch of poemsBy Randy StaffordNot every story in Haldeman's new short story collection "None So Blind" is great, but all are interesting because of notes by Haldeman explaining his intentions and what in each story draws from his life and what has been invented. Of course, Haldeman, science fiction's most famous veteran, has plenty of tales here that draw from his Vietnam experience. In "Images" what a battle-scarred 'Nam veteran sees while he secretly watches the actresses of his theater company undress makes up for the somewhat contrived plot of oh-so- compatible love. "The Monster" is a Lovecraftian tale about an imprisoned man narrating how he discovered an unearthly presence in a remote area, Vietnam, and how it destroyed his life. Of course, he comes to a bad end. The story is also interesting for what Haldeman has to say about the reality of the much glamorized Long Range Recon Patrols of the Vietnam War. "Graves" is the most vivid distillation of Haldeman's war experiences even though he says he made [MP3CD Audiobook format in vinyl case.] [Read by Tom Weiner] Fifteen remarkable tales from Joe Haldeman, an award-winning visionary and true master of worlds and wonders -- the man whom author David Brin calls ''one of the best prophetic writers of our times'' -- who once again demonstrates the breathtaking scope and startling power of his imagination, transporting listeners across space and time, into the heart of darkness and the soul of madness. From the spine-tingling account of an intergalactic poacher's rite of passage to an erotic and ultimately uplifting modern fable of inner scars and otherworldly transformation, here are fifteen remarkable tales, including the classic novella The Hemingway Hoax . These are stories that sing with a unique and haunting voice -- stories of war's monsters, of brutal art and lost stars, and a brief, miraculous moment called childhood, when a young girl can actually fly. .com "In action, a writer looks pretty much like a clerk." So Joe Haldeman writes in the introduction to this collection. But Haldeman, like Einstein, proves that clerks can have enough vision to rock the cosmos. This book includes 11 stories and four story poems, ranging in length from two pages to just over 100. Together they have earned two Nebula, two Hugo and one World Fantasy awards. Each one showcases the author's grasp of what it means to be alive and human (or inhuman), written with a powerful clarity and a subtle imagination. Publishers Weekly called this one "a stunner."From Publishers WeeklyThe title tale in this new collection from Haldeman (Worlds Apart) is a stunner; it won the 1995 Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards for best short story. In it, two misfit geniuses, a neurosurgeon and a blind musician, revolutionize near-future society by discovering how blindness enhances the learning process. Perhaps this is a "crazy idea," as Haldeman labels it in an author's note, but it's inspired as well, as are most of the 15 selections here, all first published between 1986 and 1994. In fact, two other Hugo winners grace the book: "The Hemingway Hoax" builds the classic SF concept of multiple universes into a novella rich in characterization and insights into the creative process; "Graves" reflects-as does much of his work-Haldeman's Vietnam experience. Some of the pieces here are too short to have much impact, but the four story-poems are very effective, and "If I Had the Wings of an Angel" speaks eloquently to the young adult market. The introduction and notes that round out the collection say much about the process of turning ideas into stories-a transformation at which, apparently, Haldeman is still a master. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.From Library JournalVeteran sf writer Haldeman offers a novella, ten short stories, and four story poems originally published from 1986 to 1994, plus comments on the inspiration for each piece. The centerpiece is the Hugo and Nebula award-winning novella, Hemingway's Hoax, which shows that it can be deadly to replicate lost manuscripts. Throughout, the richly drawn characters are generally ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. A strong contender for sf collections, this will work in general short story collections as well.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

What’s Wrong with the Hugo Voting? We all know there are lots of things wrong with the Hugo voting, including the perennial problem of including apples and oranges, as it were, in the Semiprozine category. How do you choose between Interzone and Science Fiction Chronicle! More to the point, problems in categories and definitions are exacerbated by how few people actually vote for the awards. Of 8,000 members of 1993’s Worldcon, less than 10% actually voted. The weird thing is that the presentation of the Hugo Awards was attended by thousands who applauded their favorites but couldn’t be bothered to fill out and send in the ballot, although it cost them nothing except a few minutes and a postage stamp. Here are some ways to increase the number of people who vote. Pay people to vote. Offer them $2 (or £2) back when they show up at the convention, or mail them a $2 bill (or a Scottish £1 note) when their votes are received.
