THE LAST MIMZY IS THE IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO AN AUTHOR WHO WAS AHEAD
OF HIS TIME-AND WHOSE TIME HAS FINALLY COME.
These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of
vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm
and angry aliens. In "Mimsy Were the Borogoves"-the inspiration for
New Line Cinema's major motion picture The Last Mimzy-a boy finds a
discarded box containing a treasure trove of curious objects. When
he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets-including a
crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll
with removable organs that don't quite correspond to those of the
human body-their parents grow concerned. And they should be. For
the items are changing the way the children think and perceive the
world around them-for better or worse.
Ray Bradbury called Henry Kuttner "a man who shaped science fiction
and fantasy in its most important years." Marion Zimmer Bradley and
Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner was a
writer's writer whose visionary works anticipated our own
computer-controlled, machine-made world. At the time of his death
at forty-two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under
more than a dozen pseudonyms-sometimes writing entire issues of
science fiction magazines-in close collaboration with his wife, C.
L. Moore.
This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish
to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the
universe.
