First-Person Singularities, stories by science fiction Grand Master
Robert Silverberg, features eighteen tales written over the course
of his forty-year career, all told in the first-person singular.
Inspired by W. Somerset Maugham's Six Stories Written in the First
Person Singular, a fiercely realist collection from the 1930s,
Silverberg takes on the challenge, offering up his own unique
sci-fi twist and "running the gambit of singularity." Every story
in First-Person Singularities offers a one-of-a-kind narrator: a
dolphin feeling the pangs of love for a human being; a computer
eager to convince us of its sanity; a Greek god who has
surreptitiously survived into modern times; an alien visitor living
in disguise in a New York City hotel. Even a pudgy, timid Henry
James gets the Silverberg treatment as the witness/narrator of H.G.
Wells's The War of the Worlds! Each story features a special
introduction by Silverberg himself, providing the inside scoop on
his experience writing for and publishing with the greatest science
fiction magazines of the past and present. First-Person
Singularities includes an introduction by Hugo-award winning sci-fi
author John Scalzi (Redshirts). Robert Silverberg is one of the
giants of the sci-fi genre, with four Hugo Awards and six Nebula
Awards to his name. He was inducted into the Science Fiction and
Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999 and named a Grand Master by the
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2005.
