Reviews
"Swanwick has emerged as one of the country's most respected authors." - Philadelphia Enquirer Magazine, "What makes Swanwick special is his ability to wring fresh, unexpected consequences from standard [science fiction] notions." - Kirkus, ?In addition to their individual quality, the 16 stories in this rollicking collection amply demonstrate Hugo-winner Swanwick's impressive versatility...intriguing characters and lovingly told stories." ? Publishers Weekly , starred review ?Witty, smart, challenging, marveling in off-beat invention and beautifully written...." ? SF Site , featured review ?Every reader with a dollop of humanity will admire Michael Swanwick's rowdy good humor. His towering creativity seems so effortless that it is easily overlooked?so effortless, and so immense. You won't want to put this book down." ?Gene Wolfe ?By turns funny, clever, mysterious, and possessing hidden depths, the stories in Swanwick's latest collection demonstrate he's at the top of his game. Delightful, thoughtful work, sure to please his readers." ?Jeff VanderMeer, author of The Third Bear ?For most writers, it's a good day when a story is witty or has great ideas or characters. Michael Swanwick consistently wins on all three." ?Vernor Vinge ?Michael Swanwick is one of my all-time favorite short-story writers. Sometimes he makes me laugh, sometimes he makes me shudder, sometimes he makes me weep. He always makes me think. And that's just when I am talking to him." ?Jane Yolen ?In The Dog Said Bow-Wow , a valuable author has taken the disreputable duckling of category fiction and nurtured it into a swan of elegant speculation, as the wick of disciplined fancy draws the reader's inflamed imagination ever downward through the waxen feast. Swan and wick: an essential conjunction yielding wonder, warmth, wit, and many a synergistic epiphany." ?James Morrow, author of Shambling Toward Hiroshima ?Michael Swanwick's stories start soft, sneak close, and punch hard. And nobody else?nobody!?in science fiction has his range." ?Nancy Kress, author of After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall ?Michael Swanwick's The Dog Said Bow-Wow is an extraordinarily strong collection. His fierce imagination, subtle humor, and genius for implication are evident in each of these stories." ?Jeffrey Ford ?...arguably [the] best collection of his stories, populated by tricksters, dinosaurs, gods, and explorers, Swanwick takes a variety of old themes and styles and twists them into something fresh and new." ? Rain Taxi ?Swanwick's graceful prose, prodigious inventiveness, and sense of humor are very much in evidence here...." ? Tangent ?...surpassingly brilliant...storytelling of the highest order." ? Locus ?Witty, smart, challenging, marveling in off-beat invention and beautifully written...." ? SF Site, "[Swanwick] is an amazingly assured writer, seemingly incapable of writing a sentence that isn't interesting in itself, in addition to the way it moves the story forward." - The New York Review of Science Fiction, "Swanwick's wildly imaginative and beautifully written short stories have been, for several years, one of the primary joys of the field." -Karen Joy Fowler, The Washington Post Book World, "Swanwick's graceful prose, prodigious inventiveness and sense of humor are very much in evidence here." -tangentonline.com, "[Swanwick] is an amazingly assured writer, seemingly incapable of writing a sentence that isn't interesting in itself, in addition to the way it moves the story forward." -- The New York Review of Science Fiction, "Swanwick has emerged as one of the country's most respected authors." -Philadelphia Enquirer Magazine, "Swanwick has emerged as one of the country's most respected authors." — Philadelphia Enquirer Magazine, "[Swanwick] is an amazingly assured writer, seemingly incapable of writing a sentence that isn't interesting in itself, in addition to the way it moves the story forward." — The New York Review of Science Fiction, "Swanwick's graceful prose, prodigious inventiveness and sense of humor are very much in evidence here." —tangentonline.com, "Swanwick's graceful prose, prodigious inventiveness and sense of humor are very much in evidence here." -tangentonline.com, "What makes Swanwick special is his ability to wring fresh, unexpected consequences from standard [science fiction] notions." — Kirkus, In addition to their individual quality, the 16 stories in this rollicking collection amply demonstrate Hugo-winner Swanwick's impressive versatility...intriguing characters and lovingly told stories." — Publishers Weekly , starred review Witty, smart, challenging, marveling in off-beat invention and beautifully written...." — SF Site , featured review Every reader with a dollop of humanity will admire Michael Swanwick's rowdy good humor.
