About This Item
This is a nice anthology of three good science fiction novellas with religious themes. The Feast of St. Dionysus by Robert Silverberg is a somewhat metaphysical survivors' guilt tale with an unsatisfying ending. My Brother Leopold by Edgar Pangborn is a good post-apocalyptic story with an interesting twist and clever insight. My favorite is the Roger Zelazny novella, 'Kjwalll'kje'k'koothailll'kje'k, a title which is difficult to type and I'll bet no one has ever managed to pronounce it correctly three times in a row rapidly, with or without ice cubes in their mouth. It's a religious dolphin story and a very well done private-eye mystery; a very memorable and thought-provoking story and not just because of the title.
