From the moment John Varley burst onto the scene in 1974, his short fiction was like nothing anyone else was writing. His stories won every award the science fiction field had to offer, many times over. His first collection, The Persistence of Vision, published in 1978, was the most important collection of the decade and changed what fans would come to expect from science fiction.

Now, The John Varley Reader gathers his best stories, many out of print for years. This is the volume no Varley fan - or science-fiction fan - can do without.

Great stories that entertained and provoked much thought about how I perceive the world. Also enjoyed getting to know his well fleshed out characters

Back in the 1970's, I started reading everything in SF&Fantasy. John Varley was my favorite writer for awhile, until he wasn't writing enough to be in that top spot. Now he's just one of my favorites, much like Buster Keaton is one of my favorite directors. Still, he was the great writer of my youth. I spent years waiting for his book Demon to be released.

This collection is part stories, part autobiography. It starts with the burning of his apartment, a place where I used to send him the zines I made back then. He goes on to describe more of his early life in wonderful detail, then the first story starts, Picnic on Nearside. After that, more autobiography, then the next story.

All wonderful stories, with wonderful narrators. Highly recommended.

3 Hugo & 2 Nebula awards. Great narrators.

The John Varley Reader is a collection of eighteen short stories, novelettes, and novellas by John Var-ley spanning from the mid 70’s through to just past the turn of the millennium. Several entries are set in his Eight Worlds series. There are some, part of the Anna-Louise Bach franchise. The most well known of the set is his Persistence of Vision which follows a sighted individual who spends time with a colony of blind and deaf individuals. Press Enter is also quite good, predicting the rise of artificial intelli-gence.

Varley demonstrates a vast range from his futuristics tales to the present day, each with unique twists. Each story is preceded by an author’s introduction which in many instances is just his ramblings on his writing career and forays into motion pictures.

The narration is superb with a large ensemble cast that was chosen for the tone of the tales. Pacing is smooth throughout.

Satisfying short story collection

I've been a fan of John Varley's stories for many decades and it was like visiting with old friends to hear the stories I'd enjoyed reading in the past. The comments from the author before each story provided context and made them even more enjoyable.

A Marvelous Collection of Outstanding Stories

Runs the gamut of human experience, a delight to savor. All about people's reaction to their lives done in SF styling. You're gonna love it.

Very good

I love John Varley’s work and this collection is great reading that sticks with you. I especially enjoyed Jane Eyre’s reading of several of the better stories.

Some of Varley’s best

good stuff, charming and nostalgic 60's and 70's scifi. while listening i had several moments of recognition like, "oh so Varley wrote that!". for instance I have fond memories of the made for TV movie " overdrawn at the memory bank" from my youth. It was like a weird gem i had found, special and mine, and over the years it seemed not many people remembered or saw it. I did skip a couple stories because I got bored or the reader was annoying. eh, can't knock it out of the park every time. if you like predictable and gratuitous casual sex and nudity there is plenty to go around.

a charming walk down memory lane

A well acted, read and presented collection of one of SF’s less popularly known authors.

Underrated
