Such were the words I've chosen to describe this novella (and another one like it - "Catman") when I first read it in 1987. This "Jack Vance-like baroque space opera" reads like a smorgasbord of delectable (and some detestable) "delights" and a catalogue of gaudy styles and bold colors, in the vein of Russian avantgarde art of the Twenties, such as the paintings of Vasily Kandinsky (see example below). Sometimes I think that if you compress Ellison stories, squeeze "pop-culture sensibilities and selling points" out of it and hang it out to dry (to vanquish some self-indulgent tears and other excesses), then you will end up with... poetry of a strangely familiar kind. Mayakovsky, anyone? I'm partly joking, but... Ellison is an event, not a writer. It "happens to you" at some point in your life, and then you are never free from it. This novella deals with the creepy subject of stealing the mutant eyes of another person to better see (and supposedly enjoy) a decadent society, but in the end one can never satisfy the "lust of his eyes" and only would flood the gates of his heart to further insensitivity. Reading Ellison is quite the opposite of that. He cares, and make you care, even if you did not give the subject a second thought a moment before. Certainly a brightest (and baddest) fiction of the Seventies. review: 4-Sep-06 (read in 1987) "Structures" by Vasily Kandinsky (1924) ---------------------------------------------- "Sensible City" © F&SF, Oct 1994 also in - Dark Destiny, 1994 Slippage, 1997 "Shatterday" © Gallery, Sep 1975 Science Fiction Monthly, 1975 Shatterday, 1980 --short story : 1976 Nebula --short story : 1976 Locus /14 --/ fourth place sf story --/ wonder award --/ style award --/ idea award --/ emotion award "Shatterday" (coll) © 1981, Harpers --anthology/collection : 1981 World Fantasy --single author collection : 1981 Locus /2 --all-time collection : 1999 Locus All-Time Poll /17 --/ fourth place sf collection --/ wonder award --/ style award "Shattered Like a Glass Goblin" © Orbit # 4, 1968 The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, 1969 --short story : 1970 Nebula --/ fourth place sf story --/ wonder award --/ style award "Silent in Gehenna" © The Many Worlds of SF, ed.

Somebody on the internet remembered what it's about, but I totally forgot. Apparantly comic book episode was also made from that story: "Portals ("orifices") can be opened to controllable locations; the aliens have the portal technology first; an Earthian spy learns about coming invasion and so humans put up a portal of their own in front of the enemy portal." Simple, baby. review: 24-Jul-06 (read in 2001) ---------------------------------------------- "Try a Dull Knife" © F&SF, Oct 1968 The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, 1969 --/ fourth place sf story --/ wonder award --/ emotion award "The Vengeance of Galaxy 5" © Amazing Stories, Feb 1958 "The Very Last Day of a Good Woman" (also as "The Last Day") © Rogue, Nov 1958 Ellison Wonderland, 1962 --/ cool sf story "The Voice in the Garden" © Lighthouse, Jun 1967 From the Land of Fear, 1967 --/ humour award "Wanted in Surgery" © IF, Aug 1957 Paingod and Other Delusions, 1965 --/ cool sf story "The Waves in Rio" (intro) © The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, 1969 --/ emotion award "When Auld's Acquaintance Is Forgot" © OMNI, Apr 1982 The Best of Omni SF, No. 6, 1983 Angry Candy, 1988 --/ cool sf story "The Whimper of Whipped Dogs" © Bad Moon Rising, ed.
