I liked "The Barrens and others", and "Aftershock", this is the only one I need to track down now,
what's everyone's verdict on it? and is the Hardcover hard to find?
Verdict: MADE OF WIN!
Soft & Others is one of the very best - maybe THE best - short story collection I've ever read. Seriously. The Man knows how to write for the format and the stories rock.
Besides the outstanding "Soft", the collection contains at least two other Must Read stories for a die-hard Wilson fan: "Dat-Tay-Vao" and "Lipidleggin'". You don't want to miss those.
I think I remember seeing that the book has gone out of print so hardcovers may be in short supply and only available at a premium. On the other hand, if you do the e-book thing, you can get this one for just $2.99 (on Amazon anyway). That's an insanely good deal, right there.
