![]() But I liked rereading "The Keys to December", "This Moment of the Storm" and "The Man Who Loved the Faioli".įor some reason iBooks have decided to combine the stories published in the original collection of this name in 1971 with those included (along with "The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth" and "A Rose for Ecclesiastes") in Four For Tomorrow, a collection published in 1967. (Also, of course, I've read a couple of books about Zelazny and his works since last I read this collection.) So, for instance, the incredibly weak ending of "This Mortal Mountain" grates a bit more than before, and a couple of the other single-idea stories seem a bit overextended. One of the things about keeping a booklog is that even if reading familiar material I'm considering it a bit more deeply than I used to. ![]() ![]() I think this was Zelazny's first published collection? Mostly stories from his peak early years in the 1960s includes perhaps his two best pieces from that era, the title story (which I didn't like at all on first reading it as a teenager, but which has grown on me since) and "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" which remains a favourite. ![]() Nwhyte13) The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth and other stories, by Roger Zelazny ![]()
