Matz examines the writing of such modernists as James, Conrad and Woolf, who used the word impression to describe what they wanted their fiction to present. This study addresses the problems of perception and representation that occupied writers in the early decades of the twentieth century.

I find Asimov so easy to read.
No surprise that a lot of these stories are dated and haven't aged particularly well.
Some of them actually made me cringe a little.

But, he does manage to inject personality into his characters - even in these short stories and make them feel quite real.

I think Galley Slave was my favourite - a bit of a courtroom drama. ( )

Another book from everyone's Uncle Isaac. Probably at his publishers' urging Mr. Asimov bundled up the rest of his robot stories, and anthologized them in this volume. Not very well styled, it being IA after all, but good enough for a read. ( )

Robots do it all
they mine, they spy, they proofread,
they flirt with your wife. ( )
