A good collection, at 3.55, anchored by the most excellent Hemingway Hoax, and finishing with the title story - the best two in this book, but the first story is good, too.

As has proved popular in a couple of his other collections, there are fairly extensive afterwords to each piece, and also some poetry included at the end.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380708027, Mass Market Paperback)

"In action, a writer looks pretty much like a clerk." So Joe Haldeman writes in the introduction to this collection. But Haldeman, like Einstein, proves that clerks can have enough vision to rock the cosmos. This book includes 11 stories and four story poems, ranging in length from two pages to just over 100. Together they have earned two Nebula, two Hugo and one World Fantasy awards. Each one showcases the author's grasp of what it means to be alive and human (or inhuman), written with a powerful clarity and a subtle imagination. Publishers Weekly called this one "a stunner."
