A Saucer Of Loneliness (Complete Stories Of Theodore Sturgeon, Vol 7) (2002) - Plot & Excerpts

Some of the best sci-fi you'll ever find is golden age short stories. Sturgeon knows how to write; he coined the phrase "90% of everything is crud." If that's not enough, here's a paragraph from the first story in the collection:"It was beautiful. It was golden, with a dusty finish like that of an unripe Concord grape. It made a faint sound, a chord composed of two tones and a blunted hiss like the wind in the tall wheat. It was darting about like a swallow, soaring and dropping. It circled and dropped and hovered like a fish, shimmering. It was like all these living things, but with that beauty it had all the loveliness of things turned and burnished, measured, machined, and metrical."Scifi is easily criticized in that it's easy to obscure the humanity in its stories, but Sturgeon uses writing to illuminate us.
