Review

""Gravity's Angels" is an extremely impressive collection. Each story is unique unto itself, and reading them closely together does not produce any sense that one has just read the same thing half an hour earlier. If there is any justice in the world, "Gravity's Angels" will bring Swanwick whatever recognition he has not had thus far."
--Locus
"This volume chronicles the career of one of the most impressive science fiction writers of the 1980s...Every story uses the traditional materials of the genre to explore deeper issues of character and conscience...Swanwick's work illustrates the power and the potential of contemporary science fiction."
--"Publishers Weekly"

3.0étoiles sur 5 Early Swanwick is Weak but Promising, Juil 1 2003
These stories were all written in the Eighties, and the writing is quite involving, but there is a distinct lack of theme or intent in each tale. Only the last one, The Edge of the World, is ingenious and poignant and leaves a lasting impression. Swanwick's later works are much better. I suggest Tales of Old Earth, a masterful collection.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful short fiction, Mai 14 2001
Par P. Johanneson "yet another reader" (Canada, eh) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've been consistently amazed by Michael Swanwick's novels ever since I read Vacuum Flowers about 7 or 8 years ago. I was pleased to see that Gravity's Angels had been re-released, and so I bought a copy. I was assuming that his short fiction is on par with his novels.

It is. O boy, is it ever.

I'd read one of the stories here before - Mummer's Kiss is a part of the novel In the Drift - but it didn't matter, it's worth re-reading. One short story seems to serve as a proving ground for the society depicted in Vacuum Flowers; another is an interesting take on the Arthur myth/legend. One's about a healer trapped in a church and one's about a man who may or may not be holding reality together.

Not a single one of these stories is anything less than amazing. If you've read Swanwick, and enjoyed his work, then buy this book. If you've never read Swanwick (and it seems a lot of you haven't, which is too bad; he's a phenomenal writer, easily one of the five best working in SF today), there's not a better place to start.
