In the Beginning: Tales from the Pulp Era by Robert Silverberg
I’ve been enjoying reading Silverberg’s early story collections lately, and I particularly enjoy that he, like his friend Harlan Ellison in his story collections, includes not only an autobiographical introduction to the book, but also memoir pieces before every story. As a result, his collections become two books in one: part short story collection and part portrait of the artist.To be honest, I think I like both parts equally.
In the Beginning: Tales from the Pulp Era consists of sixteen stories written from 1955 to 1959.
