An imaginative, strange, and boldly inventive collection of stories
from a singular mind, with a new introduction by Mark Harris
In The General Zapped an Angel, featuring nine supremely entertaining
fantasy and science fiction tales, a Vietnam general shoots down what
appears to be an angel; a man sells his soul to the devil for a copy of
the next day's Wall Street Journal; and a group of alien beings bestow
a mouse with human thought and emotion
Fast, one of the bestselling authors of the twentieth century whose
career spanned decades and genres, skewers war hawks, oil speculators,
and profit-at-all-costs capitalism with wit and empathy, making these
stories as relevant today as when they were first published in 1970.
