I started on The Very Best of GW (the PS Publishing volume) with Kim Stanley Robinson's introduction (I have a feeling that many on this list could give Stan a run for his money when it comes to analysis of GW's works) and then on to "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories".<br>
<br>I do not think I have read this story since I first encountered it in Orbit way back when (what an anthology series that was), as I did not remember much of the story other than the title. Edgar Rice Burroughs meets, who...Faulkner? Kerouac? Salinger?<br>
<br>The excerpts from the book are fun, nicely capturing Wells and Burroughs (Edgar Rice). And when the character's appear it is not artificial (if that makes sense).<br><br>Resisting urge to skip ahead and read the others in the sequence. Will take the book as it is presented.<br>
<br>Stan mentions candidates for a second volume. Second volume? Has that made any progress?<br><br><div class="yiv813407721gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Marc Aramini <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:marcaramini@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:marcaramini@yahoo.com">marcaramini@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Are you going to include the three novelettes that make up Fifth Head of Cerberus as instances of short stories, or just leave them to one side as a one unified piece? Just curious...

<div>Since Fifth Head has been discussed a lot, I feel I should probably treat it as one piece and perhaps tackle it after the other fiction, if at all. I will let you know ...</div>
