Literary but mostly not pretentious or artsy-fartsy, not *L*iterary. The title story, despite being heavily anthologized and despite being the title story, is *not* either the most thoughtful or the most interesting. I highly recommend this to fans of classic SF. (

Published in England under the title "Best Science Fiction Stories of Brian W. Aldiss."

It has some good short stories in it. My favorite is probably "The Impossible Star" but it's been a lot of years since I read this. (I just reread it; it's still one of his better stories.) (
