Frederik George Pohl, Jr. was an American science fiction writer, editor and fan, with a career spanning over seventy years. From about 1959 until 1969, Pohl edited Galaxy magazine and its sister magazine IF winning the Hugo for IF three years in a row. His writing also won him three Hugos and multiple Nebula Awards. He became a Nebula Grand Master in 1993.
Like always, a short story collection is tough to rate or review some of the stories are GREAT; Theodore Sturgeon and Ursula K. Le Guin a couple were complete cringe. One was so out and out misogynistic I had to skim read to finish it.
Published 1980, selections of short stories from Galaxy Magazine from the 70s and earlier. Authors that have quite a good reputation: Phillip Dick, Asimov, etc. Unfortunately, there was a printing error in my edition, meaning pages 33-64 were missing and I got 32 pages from later in the book twice instead. Most stories were really good - a cut above the average sf short sory.
