Here is an irresistible treat: a cornucopia of stories, poems and cartoons celebrating the lighter side of science fiction. There are contributions from well-known writers and artists, and small masterpieces by the lesser-known — rescued from near oblivion by the wide-ranging reading and research of Isaac Asimov and Janet. Jeppson.
You'll find Ogden Nash, Fred Hoyle and Ben Bova; meet mathenauts, a self-priming solid-state electronic chicken and a Foy that dies. There are satires, spoofs, outrageous puns, old chestnuts and new plums, tales intellectual and bawdy — some-thing to ticlde every fancy.
Whether you are a science fiction addict or a newcomer to it, Isaac Asimov's highly personal intro-duction to each piece will tempt you from one to the next, and LAUGHING SPACE willrapidly become a firm favourite. The title is no accident: as Asimov points out in his Introduction, even Martin Luther said, 'If you're not allowed to laugh in heaven I do not want to go there.' Vissza
