People Magizine said there was no one like him, then cursed him for preventing easy sleep. But in these stories Harlan Ellison outdoes himself, rampaging like a mad thing through love (Cold Friend, Kiss of Fire, Paulie Charmed the Sleeping Woman), hate (Knox, Silent in Gehenna), sex (Catman, Erotophobia), lost childhood (One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty) and into such bizarre subjects as the problems of blue-skinned, eleven-armed Yiddish aliens, what it's like to witness the end of the world and what happens on the day the planet Earth swallows Barbra Streisand.

Я осмотрелся вокруг. Помещение просторное, моя странная клеть стоит в его центре. Всю комнату по периметру занимают компьютеры. На некоторых мониторах то ли заставка, то ли вывод обработки цепочки ДНК. Другие торжественно пусты. Несколько письменных столов, пол, будто из какого-то мутного стекла, в его глубинах вьется трубопровод. Удовлетворенный осмотром, я попытался выбраться из странной невесомости. Удалось не с первого раза, однако я все же очутился на полу. И посмотрел в ту сторону, откуда раздавались голоса. В чем-то, напоминавшем огромных размеров стеклянный цилиндр стояли два человека. Один - парень, лет восемнадцати-двадцати. Второй - седой, солидный мужчина с окладистой бородой. В голову невольно пришла мысль, что именно так и выглядит настоящий профессор....
