5 stars

This book has been on my shelf since 1994. I'm not sure why I never read it. It's spectacularly good. Amazing, thought provoking short stories, sketches of larger works, and reviews or commentaries on imaginary works. Remarkable, unadorned pieces, without the dilution of the intriguing central idea that would have come of expanding them into longer formats.
