De regulă eu nu citesc literatură SF. Aşa că m-a pus puţin în dificultate Cătălin Pânzaru când mi-a dăruit primul lui roman, „Primul stagiu” pe care, desigur, eram obligată măcar din politeţe să-l citesc, cu atât mai mult cu cât îmi aşte...

Henry Kuttner’s Fury is one of those golden age SF books full of egomaniacal supermen and the form-fitting ballgown-wearing bombshells who love them. It’s overwrought and dopey, but also wonderful and deliriously entertaining.

WAIT!

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried

Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.

I plead and I wept for a clue to my fate,

And the Master so gently said,

“Child, you must wait”.

You say, wait!” my indignant reply.
