Ladataan... MYTH-Interpretations: The Worlds of Robert Asprin (2011)Tekijä: Robert Asprin
   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.  RevBobMIB | Oct 21, 2015 |   The pleasant surprise for my money, however, is that the stories which close out the 400+ pager are not only new, but display a humorous bent missing from the Myth universe. If you've never read anything by Asprin, this would be a nice way to get your feet wet. And if all you've bumped in to are his better known works, do yourself a favor and try a sampling of something new - this one makes a good place to start.

Some of these stories were new to me, and some I'd read before in other collections. The new stuff came as a nice surprise, especially the Myth stories that I'd missed (or forgotten) somehow. The final story (in more ways than one; it's his last work, sent off the day before his death) hit me especially hard, as it takes place at a convention I attend every year. I was a little disappointed by the inclusion of "Cold Cash War," as I'd previously read the novel-length version, but I can't really fault anyone for that. After all, as noted in the introduction, Asprin didn't write much short fiction; there just wasn't a lot to choose from.
While I can't call this an all-time classic anthology, I'm glad I picked it up. Reading it finally felt like a proper way to say goodbye. (
