Pirates of the Universe

fill in some of the blanks.I appreciate an author or director who allows the audience to make some sense of their world rather than spelling everything out in black and white. Bisson dips you into the world in a way that seems very natural, never heavy-handed. He's a writer who has some flair...in a subtle, sparse way. Odd combination, I know.Hmm...hard book to describe...it's uncomfortable in spots, I can't say I'd want to live in this world, it's depressing...and yet I felt oddly bouyant. Its a rare near-future book that seems plausible, but this is one.I'm not a huge P.K. Dick fan, but this remninded me of the things I like best about him.Definitely worth a read.

Terry Bisson is an American legend. Simply stated, he is the greatest living author on the planet. A set of all his original works belongs on the shelf of every book lover.Pirates of the Universe will expand and enhance your imagination. His quality of writing can not be matched. It is a rare treat to read any of his current or future works.
