Tales of nostalgia and loss in a world overrun by technology Hank
is walking home from the bar when the Model T pulls alongside him.
It’s been decades since he saw a car this old, and the sound of
it takes him right back to his twenties. The door is open, and when
he climbs in, the car takes off—without a driver. Before he knows
what’s happened, Hank is right back at Big Spring Pavilion, where
he spent his youth drinking bootleg whiskey and chasing pretty
girls. He will find the past is not quite as he remembered it, but
still a lovely place to go for a drive. This collection
includes some of the finest short fiction Clifford Simak ever
wrote, including “City,” the story that became the basis for
his beloved novel of the same name. In the history of science
fiction, no author has ever better understood that the Great Plains
and the cosmos are closer together than we think. Each
story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor
of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this book.
